    There a lot of puzzles based on the 3 words concept.

    Like Mike allready said, there is even on mystery cache in Vienna, Austria based on the “what 3 words”-concept.

    Thanks for the show, but could you turn down the music a little bit? Compared to the spoken parts it seems way too loud to me. The Intro allways makes my earphones crackle, but on the other hand I have to play it loud to understand you. This might be, because I am not a native english speaker.

      Thanks for the feedback. Sonny will see what he can do about the music levels.
