Schoezia — A Wedding Surprise for Joel & Marzia 🍷

A one-page "scratch card" reveal website, built as the digital companion to a physical scratch card gift. Scanning the QR code on the card brings you here, where you can scratch to reveal the prize (a weekend getaway in the vineyards) and unlock a private WhatsApp group to help everyone find a date in 2027 that works.

Live site: https://spatialsparks.github.io/schoezia/

No build step, no dependencies — just static files served directly by GitHub Pages.

The raffle-code gate

The "Save the Date" section is gated behind a code entered by the visitor. The idea: each physical scratch card has a raffle ticket code printed in its bottom-left corner, and entering it here reveals the "Join The WhatsApp Group" button.

The code is stored as a SHA-256 hash and the WhatsApp link is base64-encoded at the top of js/script.js, so neither is sitting around as plain text in the source:

const WHATSAPP_GROUP_URL_B64 = "aHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0LndoYXRzYXBwLmNvbS9EN0hHY1NSR0hBekhHU0ozUTlZZTBw";
const RAFFLE_CODE_SHA256 = "0c691a6ae1bf2bfd74d25ade9ea3f460edf92a90ffbf50e12383db8730f8d4a4";

To change either value:

• WhatsApp link: base64-encode the new URL, e.g. in a browser console run btoa("https://your-new-link"), and paste the result in.
• Raffle code: compute its SHA-256 hex hash of the uppercased, trimmed code, e.g. in a browser console run crypto.subtle.digest("SHA-256", new TextEncoder().encode("YOUR-CODE")).then(b => console.log(Array.from(new Uint8Array(b)).map(x => x.toString(16).padStart(2,"0")).join(""))), and paste the resulting hex string in.

Then commit and push to main — GitHub Pages redeploys automatically within a minute or two.

Note: this is client-side obfuscation, not real security (fine for a fun gimmick tied to a physical gift) — anyone who runs the same hashing/decoding logic themselves could still recover both the code and the link.

Local preview

Just open index.html in a browser, or serve the folder locally, e.g.:

python -m http.server 8000

then visit http://localhost:8000.
