You don’t have to always come up with an out of this world idea to build a device that people may be interested in picking up. Take The Reverse Geocache Puzzle. A device based on a simple concept that is getting a lot of coverage these days. Mikal Hart has certainly developed an interesting GPS box. A box that will tell you where it will open but won’t open till you get there. The box certainly makes a great gift for weddings and those who want to give a surprise gift to their friends and loved ones.
Geo-caching is all about solving problems. The activity is certainly fun and can be quite addictive if you are into outdoor activities. With this puzzle box, you can make your friend or loved one think outside the box and try to find your secret location. At this point, you can get the location wrong 50 times, but the idea has a lot of potential. Something tells me that Mikal won’t have any trouble selling this box, especially during the holiday season. Weddings happen all day, and this idea is so unique that I can see many people picking this box up.
A lot of people assume that you need to be a rocket scientist to become an entrepreneur. In reality, you need an idea based on a simple concept, address a need, and execute it in a decent way. The Reverse Geocache Puzzle does that wonderfully, which is why Mikal may have trouble keeping up with all his orders.
