Since 1974, Opportunities Unlimited Publications, Inc., located in North Kansas City, Missouri, has mailed skills contests and puzzles directly to its participants. With a strong focus on customer service and satisfaction, the company provides players assurances that include a privacy policy and financial refunds, when warranted.
Opportunities Unlimited Publications provides players with all the necessary game rules and regulations on the entry form. Players then proceed to test their abilities by completing progressively more difficult puzzles. Tiebreaker rounds are available for high scorers, and winners can obtain cash prizes ranging in value from $100.00 to $40,500.00.
Opportunities Unlimited also works to educate its participants. In particular, the company encourages players to avoid unscrupulous contests by properly analyzing the validity of a game. For instance, the company encourages players to thoroughly read and understand each game’s rules and regulations. The company monitors players that consistently turn in incorrect answers and if it appears that a player does not understand the contest or is otherwise unable to play, the company will stop sending contests to that player and will not accept future payments from that player. Additionally, the company discourages telemarketing games and guides its players to always request literature related to a particular game and to ask any relevant questions.
