Mark Anthony Group’s 007-themed ‘Secret Agent Ball’ parties have always been special events, and the invites are hard to come by. For this years invite, I came up with the concept of a puzzle that would need to be solved in order to figure out the details for the party.

Inside the folded invitation’s pocket (on the right) is a trans­par­ent plastic card, which resembles a DNA sequence output. The instruc­tions direct you to line up the DNA sequence with the graphic on the inside of the invite (com­plete with markers to help you align it prop­erly). If you fol­lowed the instruc­tions prop­erly, and with the DNA sequence aligned to the invite, all the inform­a­tion about the party were revealed.

All the inform­a­tion was also printed on the back-side of the tear-out admis­sion ticket, just in case invit­ees weren’t able to solve the puzzle.

Mark Anthony Group is the leading privately-owned importer and dis­trib­utor of fine wine, premium beer, and spe­cialty bever­ages in Canada.
