Sweet video! The best part of the evening was when someone repeatedly text their name until the recent entry times read "4, 20".

I think you could do more with the SMS reply, like have it send a random puzzle and award points for a solution (may have to be careful not to repeatedly unlock the door), send a horoscope based on a user profile, etc.

Yeah, I would like to make the replies much smarter & possibly include who is there ("Welcome Mark, Brian just got here"). Additionally it would be nice to proactively text people ("Mark, where are you? 3 of your friends have already arrived and are waiting for you"). I think there are a lot of fun things to add.
