Dan Chamizer

In 2010, Chamizer established the National Riddle Archive, a dynamic online database of imaginative-associative riddles) in association with The Kibbutzim College of Education and the Teachers' Union in Israel. Designed to be used as a teaching resource, facilitating both formal and informal learning, the archive is aimed at professional educators and linked to study topics outlined in the national curriculum.

He returned to radio in 2004 with a new game show called The "Chamizer Sentence", which offered the highest individual prize awarded in the history of Israeli radio game shows- NIS 240,000. In 2009, Chamizer produced the VOD Treasure for HOT TV, and in 2010, he produced The Treasure of the Century, celebrating 100 years of the Kibbutz Movement in Israel, followed by the New Israel Defense Force Quiz in 2011.

Chamizer was a newspaper columnist, radio presenter for Galei Tshahal and a TV host. With Zeev Aner, he produced hundreds of nationwide treasure hunt games. He had a daily spot on Razi Barkai and Shelly Yachimovich's radio show, "Hakol Diburim" (1990-1997). The show was broadcast on the Reshet Bet radio channel, where Chamizer presented a featured item called "Chidat Chamizer" (Chamizer's riddle). His riddles were based on imagination and associative thinking rather than general knowledge. The riddles proved challenging to solve and required ‘entering the mind’ of Chamizer to identify and decoding his personal associations.
