The entrance awaits

Anything below the line is old material


This is part of my A Puzzle a Day series. You will need the Gargoyle IF Reader in order to do some parts of the puzzle. Giveaways end August 10, 11:55 PM PST.

Special thanks to Fet for helping me obtain a couple more games to add to the maze.


Rules:
I just want to preempt this by saying that the choice of "share everything except giveaway links" won. Unfortunately, after I released the poll, I realized that the ITH links are a major, major part of this event unlike my previous group puzzles. You'll see as soon as you get into the Temple, so unfortunately, I have to make the links unsharable.

You can share:

  • The 8 character strings that are the titles of most of the ith quizzes. They are there to help and you will need to share them to get anywhere.
  • Any maps that you make.
  • Answers to ITH quizzes.
  • Methods to get to a giveaway or ITH quiz. Examples: look in the source on x page, use the first letter of every line on y page, image z is a hidden rar file, etc.
  • I know most people probably don't want to download strange programs on their computers. To circumvent this, you can share any 8 character ITH code you encounter inside a z8 file. People who don't want to download the file do not have to.

You cannot share:

  • Direct links to giveaways or ITH quizzes (or the 5 or 8 character strings), unless they fall into one of the categories above. Example: if the answer to a quiz is a giveaway link, you can share it.

If you have any questions at all about the rules feel free to add me or just post in this thread.

tl;dr : Don't share giveaway or quiz links, including the character strings. Almost everything else is permitted. Share quiz answers, seriously.


The Temple of Steamgifts has always been a subject of folklore - the legendary resting place of the Steamgiftians, filled with priceless treasures and artifacts. You and your companions have heard tales of a mysterious stone wall deep in the jungles of giveaway pages. Thousands of adventurers have come before you, scouring the jungle in search of this treasure. None have obtained it. Will you be lucky enough to find the Temple of Steamgifts and claim the treasure for yourselves?

General Hint: games are all for PC

Thanks i was one of the double winners (also only entered 8) and one of them was the one i wanted the most: The Testament of Sherlock Holmes.

the 4 and 5 giveaway winners must have won many DLC. No one won 3 giveaways and only 11 single winners.

It was a long time since someone made such huge group puzzle and I was happy to participte in it. In fact, I registered on Steamgifts only because of 1 year anniversary puzzle by Jexel and was kinda sad when everyone started making smaller puzzles and did not allow to ask for answers.

Thank you very much for this puzzle, jatan11t (even though I didn't win anything).
