Bottle number
The bottle number is the anchor that keeps the physical bottle and digital journey connected.
Tracked message bottle
A real bottle journey that stays visible after it leaves your hands
The tracking layer is what makes this more than a novelty bottle. The bottle number connects the real bottle to registration, the public bottle page, the live map, and later finder reports. The product itself is sold through Downhome.

The map gives the journey a visual trail when tosses, finds, and retosses are reported.
Finder updates
Future finders can report the bottle and extend the same story instead of starting over.
Lifecycle view

Buying details
Start with the product page if you are still evaluating the bottle itself.
