I knew I had heard this music somewhere... deep, deep down in my mind. I played this game a lot back when I was younger.
Not sure if the description given in the puzzle fits, though.
EDIT: Okay, so there is another game that is also a valid answer. I suppose the music is used in both of them.

Ok, so we're at a bit of an impasse. Outstanding, unused hints that spring to mind for me:
-Solving the stage 2 quiz provided a string of 8 letters/numbers that do not seem to form an itstoohard link (at least not directly).
-We have 7 arrows, each pointing in a different direction with a single letter or number.
-Each giveaway page has featured a snippet of text referring to a game completely separate from the game being given away. First one refers to Left 4 Dead, second one Driver: SF, third one Anno 2070.
Anyone got any ideas on where to go with any of that? Or anything I'm missing?

I'm rewatching the audio clip video. If he borrowed Jexel's song, he might have borrowed his trick of hiding a quick flash of information in the middle of a long, otherwise motionless video, too. ;)
[edit]: No luck there, unless I missed something.

Tried taking the J out of OcZJKkXbf as well, didn't lead to any quiz.

Good eye there, it might be related to something, but I don't think it's for anything right now.

since we got to the quiz2 by shifting, i tried to shift those leters (Q2 "answer")with the number and direction, no luck

A bunch of people did jexel's last puzzle. I assumed that at least a few of you would remember it. Looks like I was right ^^

Some of those songs are absolutely seared into my brain. I was working on Jexel's puzzle when we discovered that he had hidden flashes of information in some of the videos, so I was one of a couple people sitting there staring intently rewatching all the videos to find anything we might have missed. Instant deja vu when I clicked play on yours!

I solved it twice. It bugged on me the first time I solved it, so I had to re-enter all of the answers

If anyone can offer a bit more help, I tried implementing the ceasar shift, and for some reason (probably temporary retardation) I can't seem to get it to work.
Comment has been collapsed.
Edit your post right NOW. One of your guesses is extremely close, you just somehow messed one of the shifts up, and if you don't edit those out you'll basically be breaking jatan's rules for this and be blacklisted. Recheck them and try again.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't think that one possibly close guess out of 3 invalid sequences counted as sharing a code or link, and it's pretty hard to show where I am without throwing them out there, isn't it?
Comment has been collapsed.
i remember one of the links you posted was nearly the same as the right one, just use the shifter again and see if you get a different one...
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't worry about that rule too much. My intent was to make sure that everyone would have to perform the puzzle steps but if you're having trouble I see no problem asking for help as long as the valid link is not given. Showing invalid links while asking for help is fine.

Thanks jatan, I didn't think I was out of line there.
Comment has been collapsed.
The inside of the arrows leads to secret stage 1, I don't understand why noone else has found it yet, is it really too hard?
Also, way before the puzzle went officially online I got to one of the giveaways. I assume it will be easier to get there from one of the stages, but 5 giveaways have something special about them. And I could find the giveaway even before this thread has been created. Think, what would I be able to see. One of you started questioning that element on one of the giveaways.
