Sealed message website?

June 6, 2013 4:42 PM

For a game, I'm looking for a website with this functionality: - many people submit a secret message - when everyone's submitted a message, they're all revealed The idea is to allow people to submit a secret entry (such as a bid) without the moderator of the game seeing it. Does this exist?

I think Google Docs forms could do this with a very small amount of programming. The form submits to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet can have a second worksheet published to the world. And you can configure the spreadsheet to fire off a little bit of Google Apps Script (i.e. JavaScript) when form entries are submitted. That much is all built in and the work of a moment. What you'd have to program is the logic to count/assess the entries and copy them all to the published worksheet when you have all those you want.
