St. Louis Entrepreneurs Bring Secret Messaging to the World with 'Snotes'

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleur de Lis Group, a St. Louis company, has launched Snotes™ - a unique way to create and deliver an online secret, encrypted message to loved ones and friends. Snotes are created with words that are hidden in shapes to form graphic symbols. When rotated at the correct angle, they reveal a secret message.

"We've created a modern take on an ancient form of hidden communication that can be traced back to the days of Leonardo da Vinci," said Snotes founder, Joe Bayer, Fleur de Lis Group LLC. "With Snotes, not only can you generate a truly secret message within seconds, you can share it by mail, text, or on social networks like Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest."

Available at snotes.com, users can easily establish a free account and quickly create a Snote by using the patent-pending Snotes' Generator featuring a range of fonts, colors, transparencies, colors, backgrounds and animations. Each custom creation can be saved, shared or printed out. There's even an "enigma machine", which adds another layer of secrecy to each message, that must be decoded to read.

Visitors to the website will also find an addictive game called "Snotes Quotes" which challenges players to quickly read questions in the form of a Snote, by rotating it interactively, and answering correctly before time runs out. The game is also available to play on mobile devices by downloading the Snotes Quotes app through iTunes or Google Play.

"We've already accomplished a lot but our ultimate goal is to turn Snotes into a revolutionary social media platform that allows instantaneous sharing between friends and family worldwide," said Bayer. "That's why we've kicked off a crowdfunding effort to help raise additional funds to build and launch a mobile app."

The Snotes Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign is now live and runs through October 25, 2014. The team plans to generate $50,000 to develop a mobile app that will allow users to instantaneously share secret messages as well as support an awareness campaign.

In return for donations starting as low as $1, participants will receive unique Snotes perks like a premium upgrade, coffee mugs, or smartphone/tablet.
