I'm never sure, are those the countries that CAN or CAN'T enter? I have the link and looking at the solve times I'm unsure if I wanna try 🙈

For demon slayer, they cant enter. For elden ring, those can
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry, do you mean somebody from EU can enter the Demon Slayer giveaway, and somebody from the US can`t? I thought somebody said people from the EU can't enter any of them
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble made it confusing. Demon Slayer, the image is for countries that can't enter. For Elden Ring, its for countries that can. Completely backwards.
Comment has been collapsed.
Than if I understand correctly:
1) If I am for example from Poland I should be able to join Demon Slayer (as Poland is not on list in picture) but will not be able to join Elden Ring as Poland is not on a list
2) if i would be from Germany I should be able to join Demon Slayer (as Germany is not on list in picture) but will not be able to join Elden Ring as Germany is not on a list
Sorry for another question (as you answered here already). But I think there is possible that something is different in GA region restrictions as WaxWorm said he can not enter both from Germany and he should be able to Demon Slayer = there is big chance I will not be able from Poland too even if Poland is not on region locked list. The same can be for other European countries.
I only have not these 2 games and if both are region restricted for Poland then I should not enter train as this jigsaw is pretty big :) (that is why I would love to be sure :) ). Thx for help :)

You won't be able to enter these two from Poland. Both restrictions are set to only allow the countries listed in the screenshots. Wouldn't even make sense otherwise since the screenshots are from the actual giveaways and restrictions on Steamgifts always work that way. I am not sure, if the restrictions are wrong but that is what they're set to.

I am going to take a look at Fantical as someone has suggested to get no region or less of a restriction.
Comment has been collapsed.
I always have the same problem. I hate the wording used. Simply adding a preposition would make it much clearer.
Restricted to = these can enter
Restricted from = these cannot enter
Comment has been collapsed.
Now that the combinations are only 24, it's easy to find the link, but the restrictions prevent me from continuing...
However, thank you very much and good luck to those who participate. :)

Is there a hidden hint somewhere to the correct order other than "Has numbers at start and end" or do we have to bruteforce that?
Comment has been collapsed.
the letters alone give for 120 combinations so I would hope there is some indication of the order lol
Comment has been collapsed.
It's 4320 possible combinations starting and ending with a number. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
That's up to 12 hours of testing if one manages to enter one permutation per second 😨
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry, but basically it's 11.2 hours, since an hour has 3600 seconds.
Comment has been collapsed.
i didnt actually bother calculating it myself but WaxWorm said 4320 not 40k ¯_(ツ)_/¯
edit: oh yeah but its not just 8! either because there are locked positions for numbers
Comment has been collapsed.
True, there will be fewer combinations, but it will take time to calculate the exact number. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
There are 4320 possible permutations with numbers at the beginning and end. I already found the correct URL by bruteforcing it. As long as there's no hidden and/or new hint to the correct order, this will be the only way to do it. And like I stated in another post: the Jigidi is torture. 264 pieces of tiny detailed anime girl heads overlapping each other.

IF you manage not to get banned from Jigidi for life
I guess that's where bots can be useful...
Comment has been collapsed.
well I suppose we have to wait until 24 hours since the post pass
i tried like 30 and gave up cuz its just ridiculously annoying haha
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh I was just trying to make that calculation. Thanks for beating me to it. I suck at numbers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, found the URL by (gently) bruteforcing it and saw the Jigidi. You are a monster! This will be torture to solve.

Just a heads up: if I get any more unsolicited friend invites on Steam from SG users, I will ignore and blacklist them without further notice. I won't give any hints outside of this thread and/or violate the rules of the OP.

Got it by writing a tiny Python script to permute the letters and try the URLs one by one! The puzzle is not that scary, it's got 250ish parts and is very colorful, will do it later! Should be a fun pastime.
Thanks for hosting this, Ryahn!
Comment has been collapsed.
off topic but how do you make a script to check the urls? I mean i got it to open url's 1by1 but the best i could come up with is set a manual button to limit a batch of 100 links at once or otherwise the browser would just explode
Comment has been collapsed.
Just sending requests until I get a response other than 404 and not actually opening the tabs in my browser. Try urllib.request.urlopen().

BUMP for solved! Seems I got there first! Sad that Demon Slayer and Elden Ring are so heavily region-restricted and can't be entered from Europe :C
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man, good to know. I am not going to brute force this manually for GAs that can only be entered in the US/Canada.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the info, you just saved me a lot of time from attempting this puzzle :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Can you please share which regions are available for the region locked gas?
Comment has been collapsed.
Gotta say... although I very much appreciate the giveaways and a bit of puzzling... spending multiple hours on the whole thing, just to find out that the "big price" Elden Ring and Demon Slayer are heavily region restricted so I can't enter them, has been a pretty frustrating experience. Please make it a habit to disclose such restrictions beforehand.
Comment has been collapsed.
Got to the jigidi (only 4 letters to brute force), but no time to do it now, so I'll get back to it later. It looks like a nice one, though ^^
Won't have access to the big ones, either, but I love a jigidi and one of the others is in my wishlist.
Thanks~

Finally had time to get to it, jigidi took 1:22:41, questions about 5 minutes, loved the jigidi (though my eyes hurt now), thanks!

So you will need to find the url piece hidden in this message
I count 7.
3 numbers, 4 letters
Not really enthused about putting them in the right order, assuming these 3 numbers, 4 letters are what were looking for.

The url in the code has hint of how it starts and ends. It will get updated throughout the week

Thanks but I'm way past that. I figured out the url and I'm about 50% done with the jigsaw puzzle itself now :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the effort (and the giveaways) but as the games are not available in the EU I won't try to solve it...
Comment has been collapsed.
Not according to the region restriction picture... but I guess it's again a problem of not selecting the regions right.
Seems like a waste to make events that are only available to 10% of the ROW key region. Seems like a public GA would be less trouble and more entries.
Oh well.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are correct, which is why thanked the OP for going through troubles of creating a train, even if it's available to only 10% :)
Comment has been collapsed.
There are Steam subs with those exact restrictions. I am pretty sure they're correct this time.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am just doing the Jigi for fun so i haven't been all the way to the GAs but it seems rather odd that Elden Ring would get a key you can buy from the US with all of Europe left out, no?
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean, it's basically America as a region, so North, Middle and South America including islands:
https://steamdb.info/sub/675949/
There's also an EU sub:
https://steamdb.info/sub/660700/
and quite a few more restricted ones:
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed. Elden Ring has the oddest region locks I have ever seen.
But then again I'm not really sure what region locks are still about if all the region prices are going back up.
Oh well, maybe some time next year, region locks will be a thing of the past... one can dream.

Question 2 has a spelling error in the anime title. Should be an r instead of an a.
Also, bump for solved. Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump.
It's overkill, programming, puzzle for three hours, and 2solveme.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't see the region lock before finish the jigidi so... it's hard!
But have a bump anyway !
Comment has been collapsed.
I included pictures of the region lock, sorry that you had to go through it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think i see the post and bookmark the jigidi before you add the region lock info
But don't worry, i like jigidi so it's okay :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solved.
I will detonate my black box if there ever will be more puzzles!

Man, that took way too long to complete, but the rewards look worth it! Thanks for the giveaways and bumperinno!

Bumpy!
The puzzle has taken me more than 3 hours to solve, to be true a little more, not counting the time where I took a break 😅.
Thanks for the giveaways and this mini train. 👍

Rules
https://www.jigidi.com/solve/8zd*qf40/wut/So you will need to find the url piece hidden in this message and go to the jigidi puzzle. You will also have to figure out the order of it as well. Hints will be given every 24 hours. Train ends on Jan 14th @ 6pm EST.
Hints
8zd*qf40
2B, supported by 9S, is sent to the Factory to eliminate their target. After making her way through the facility and being attacked several times by Goliath wheels, 2B makes her way out of the facility without having found her target. 9S informs her that there is another facility across the bridge, but that it's unusual for command to get the location of a target wrong. 2B then tells him that they weren't wrong, as she is attacked by Goliath.
A fight ensues, leading to 9S joining the fight, only to be slammed off his flight unit by Goliath. When Goliath is down, 2B makes her way to the top of him to find a mortally wounded 9S. He implores 2B to leave him to finish the mission and destroy the target. 2B hesitantly complies and takes his flight unit to defeat Goliath. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 8S reunite, only for three more Goliaths to appear and attack them. 2B and 9S are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goli4ths, but their fates are left unknown.
Story
Each chapter contains various sub-chapters with some 0nly being revealed after multiple playthroughs. They can also be replayed via the Chapter Select menu.
The events of the 14th Machine War unfold through three main characters perspectives, 2B, 9S and A2, all of whom fight as the last remnants of human civilization against otherworldly invaders. The battle is not so black-and-white, however, as the androids begin to question their own motives and the world in which they inhabit whilst being thrown into difficult situations and moral dilemmas.
