Gopher Protocol Inc. Introduces New Social Media Game, "PUZPIX"

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2016) - Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the "Company"), a development-stage Company which specializes in the development of real-time, heuristic-based mobile technologies, and its partners, Guardian Patch LLC and Alpha EDA, LLC, announced today that they have completed the design and construction of version I of PUZPIX, a unique social media game based on their GOPHERINSIGHT™ integrated circuit technology.

PUZPIX (version I) is a social media game, where a user posts pictures to friends or to the user base and the recipients may solve the posted pictures as a nine (9) piece puzzle with a designated time to assemble the puzzle in order to capture a score. As a user's puzzle skills improve, the system automatically increases puzzle challenge levels. The Company also intends to develop a version II of PUZPIX, which if developed, would include a GPS base tracking technology. The Company envisions that the inclusion of such a tracking technology in PUZPIX might even require users to venture outdoors in order to find and collect puzzle pieces. Upon the Company and its partner's launching the GopherInsight™ integrated circuit technology, the Company also hopes to develop a version III of PUZPIX to include domestic / international exchanges of puzzle pieces that could be shared worldwide.

"This entertainment byproduct of our technology illustrates the potential for additional products that might be introduced by the Company in the future. We are extremely excited about it," said Dr. Rittman, the CTO of the Company.

The PUZPIX test version works with the Company's mobile app, which can be downloaded for free at the Apple Store (and on Google Play within the next two weeks) under the name "PUZPIX". As a courtesy to the public, the Company previously released the Guardian Patch app to provide users with live views of the Guardian Patch units during testing.

PUZPIX is protected through a patent in connection with the Company's development of a system, method and software application for mobile database management and sharing over a private, secured network. The patent contemplates that a system will manage databases of all types including media, textual, graphical and secured communication information. The system will work with a proprietary integrated circuit (IC) within mobile devices. Working together with the IC and the mobile software application, it is the intent that the system will share all mobile database types with all other, same mobile ICs that are installed on other mobile devices, worldwide, via its own private, secured, encrypted protocol. The Company will announce the activation of the PUZPIX.COM website.

About Guardian Patch

The Guardian Patch (the "Patch"), potentially arriving in consumer markets in 2017, is a unique location technology that works with or without GPS. The Patch is a "stick-on" device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track objects, a loved-one or even a pet, through a mobile application. Download the Patch app, register your patch, and track it on your mobile device or on our designated website. Register the Patches of your family members and friends to receive alerts in the event of an emergency. Peel the Patch off and the Patch acts as a beacon, sending out a signal and notifying anyone who has registered the user's Patch.
