Cool Stuff from Uncrate

Another game goes 'real world'
Perplex City Game Cards
GEAR | GAMING | 
If you've got some free time and want to be playing a game that's a
little more real than hitting buttons on a controller, check out the
Perplex City Game Cards ($5 each, 4 for $10). Each pack contains six
puzzle cards that feature optical illusions, riddles, mazes, codes,
pop culture trivia, and more. When you have found solutions to the
codes, go to the game's website and enter the solutions to earn
points that move you up a worldwide leaderboard and help you on your
way to finding $200,000 that is buried somewhere in the world — and
$200,000 sounds pretty real to us.

Ice-Qube
HOME | STORAGE | 
There's nothing like the holiday season to remind you that it's
simply impossible for people to get along. With that in mind, it's
best to be prepared for whatever might come your way — and this is a
great way to do it. The Ice-Qube ($850) is jam-packed with all sorts
of things to keep you and your loved ones alive in an emergency.
There's too much included to list it all here, but its slogan is
"Everything you never want to need in case of emergency," and it's
spot on.
