Although I'm not sure what they unlock exactly on their website since I haven't been there. Kinder Surprise has similar codes in their chocolate eggs, I believe.

It would have been easy to go for the obvious idea, the kind of stuff you always see for licensed games. In fact, at first I did. When I looked back on what I’d written, I realized that I could do better than that. Heck, I’d done a more interesting concept for a game about wine, of all things. That pushed me to search for something better, something that would do justice to the license and would be more interesting to play.

But yeah, variety could be a problem. I still have a few days left to work on this, so I'll try to find a solution to keep players hooked for a long while.

I'd think the biggest risk with that kind of game (or toy) is that you would quickly run out of things to do. The initial setup might be interesting since you do have choices to make, but once the setup is done it can be hard to find reasons to go back to it... Yeah, I know, it's a hypothetical game about <em>wine</em> of all things. Pretty limitating. Pretty casual indeed.
