This offer only applies to the new GiftTRAP California Edition which is both bilingual and family friendly.
PS We were asked why we give less per copy to CC for 8 games (a case) than for 1. The simple answer is we wanted to offer an incentive for people to buy cases. We thought $100 as a donation was better than $15. To keep it simple we’ve put in a flat shipping rate anywhere across the US or Canada. It’s easier to ship cases - hence the incentive. hope that makes sense. We want to help raise money for CC and thought people would probably buy single games unless their was an incentive. Not everyone knows GiftTRAP has won “Best Party Game of the Year”
GiftTRAP gets "Californian" makeover
We’ve taken GiftTRAP, winner of “Best Party Game of the Year” and blended it with 180 of the best Californian gifts ideas, ensuring it still lots of fun to play with friends and family from all around the world.
“GiftTRAP California” celebrates the diversity of experience and products available across California. You can be sure of some fun conversations with friends and family providing that while picking real gifts often proves to be traumatic; giving virtual gifts and finding out how people really feel is heaps of fun.
The game features many of the classic tourist destinations, but we’ve also searched out some of the more eclectic Californian experiences.
GiftTRAP includes many images licensed via Creative Commons. The images are sourced from Flickr.com and from Gifttrap.com. The California version was inspired to celebrate the diversity of tourist destinations, goods and services available in California and includes the 85 photos from 65 Californian photographers.
The game is 100% family focussed, its also bilingual (English/Spanish) which seems a perfect fit in California where 1 person in 4 speaks Spanish at home.
Here’s some examples of the gift ideas in San Francisco and surrounding areas that are featured in the game;
