GiftTRAP is the hilarious new game that’s taking the gaming world by storm and putting the social back into board games.
The goal is to really get to know your friends and family.
You win by knowing your friends and choosing the right gifts, but most of all it’s just fun to play and gets you talking about things that matter.

Love to play Trivial Pursuit, Cranium or Apples to Apples - You will love this family party game.
GiftTRAP is all the fun of Secret Santa without needing to shop or wrap.
Last night (Thursday 5th October ‘06) I sent an email with this title. Here’s what it said;
I’ve spent the last two years developing a great new party board game called GiftTRAP (http://www.GiftTRAP.com). We have been getting great reviews and it is really taking off.
GiftTRAP takes the mystery out of giving. Think you know what gifts your family and friends want? Find out when you play GiftTRAP. Watch them rate potential gifts before they open yours - you might be surprised at what they choose. It’s fast, fun, and revealing.
This weekend is our huge launch event - we aim to have GiftTRAP played in 1,000 locations worldwide and raise cash for our charity partner, Right to Play (http://www.Righttoplay.com).
You can help! Go to our website (http://www.gifttrap.com/massiveplay/) and print a FREE trial-version of GiftTRAP to play over the weekend (6th-8th October) with your friends and family - test the game to see if you like it!
Make a small donation to Right to Play and you will also be included in our prize draw to win 5 nights here http://www.rentchalets.com/overview.html
Thanks and have fun!

I sent this to 3,300 of my LinkedIn connections. I’ve been a huge LinkedIn fan since I read Keith Ferrazzi’s best seller Never Eat Alone. Keith sold me me on the idea of connecting ahead.
I received some great responses and THREE amazing posts that I wasn’t expecting.
One from an old friend and mentor, Dave Kellogg , CEO of MarkLogic, and former CMO of Business Objects, which was where I first met Dave. I learnt a whole new way to approach innovation from Dave, which is probably solely responsible for me staying so long at Business Objects. Double thanks to Dave, a dab hand at idea aggregation and standing on the shoulders of giants.
Here’s Dave’s post on GiftTRAP and it’s emerging role in the Web 2.0 landscape; http://marklogic.blogspot.com/
My second from my new friend, Omar Ismail, at Web 2.0 company Product Wiki, I love their site, it’s such a great concept and set for greatness. He posted my email on the GiftTRAP entry on Product Wiki
My third unexpected post came from Ricardo McRae who posted an entry on Hook Me Up Thanks Ricardo. Ricardo & I simply connected on LinkedIn a few months ago. The power of loose connections never cease to amaze me! You’ve got to love Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point.
In addition I got a number of rave responses to the concept behind GiftTRAP and to the launch event. Some even suggested I get featured on Boing Boing If only such idea were that easy! While we’re in the wishing well could someone book me a slot on Oprah’s couch - I promise not to jump up and down!
Why am I not on Oprah or Boing Boing because I didn’t think to connect ahead into the blogging and media domains! Better late than never! My problem is my good ideas always seem to come along on a just-in-time basis!
I've just quit my day job, here's why...
