clue feedback

I have been having people try and figure out some of my clue types, the word wheel has needed the most explanation of how it works. and is the one that the fewest people have successfully deciphered when there are only two words to figure out, so having phrase that is deciphered using it is out of the question.  Also some people didn't figure out that the braille was braille, a suggested solution was to print it in braille so that the players don't only see it they feel it.

Been researching different types of world puzzles to use withing the game.  A interesting thought came to me while reading a friends comic, and I am going to use visual braille as a puzzle, as well as visual morse code and audio Morse code.  I found a website that will translate type into an audio file of Morse code so I can use that.  There are also different puzzles that I have seen such as a letter circle, word in word, and word to word puzzles. I am also looking into picto-ciphers, as well as book ciphers to use within the puzzles.  I will post images when I get to Montgomery in the morning.

There was some feedback from the pitch.  I am considering using pre-existing websites.  I also need to check out geo cashing.  I am writing riddles in my free time, and trying to figure out braille, and morse code to make riddles.

I've been waiting on hearing from scad exhibition office, I will probably go to see them in person if they don't get back to me soon.  I have decided on the main theme of my ARG being the chasing of an art thief.  I am creating three websites to use in the spreading of the information of the game, a fake FBI most wanted imitation website, a art bidding website, and the main information/freelance detective site.  The purpose of the FBI most wanted site is to fill the players more into what kind of person they are chasing.  This also adds some depth into the believability of the word because there will be several "criminals" listed.  The Art bidding website is going to be more for keeping the players up to date on what is being targeted as well as what it is to late for them to save.  Finally the main site is going to be where the clues are distributed to the players or "freelance detectives".  I am also considering making a face book account for several of the actors within the game and a twitter account for the art thief.  I am unsure if I want to make the art thief into a riddler ripoff because I do want him to speak in rhyme and riddles to show that he is over confident in his intelligence but at the same time I am not sure if it is to cheesy.
