Hmmm. I found something, but it's a Red Faction: Armageddon giveaway that I don't have access to.

Whoa. I'll add you, I need to know how you got there, I don't think that's part of my puzzle.

Hmm, is it the reward that sucks, is it that all the SteamGifts puzzle solvers died of old age ?

My guess is that most people have at least one of those Hitman games. Especially since Hitman 2 was given away for free in the last november, so yeah. :/
I think if you change the requirement for owning at maximum 2, more people would be able to join

I'm in the same situation... google has nothing to help on that

No, it doesn't, you just didn't write correctly, I can assure you.

Ok, at least I know the puzzle is supposed to work but I've been at it for some time now and started to get tired. I mean... I already entered everything I could come up with (backwards, all caps, entering 5 digits in a SG GA link, .........) and can't find nothing.
Maybe its just too difficult or I am not seeing something obvious.
I have none of the Hitman and would like to participate though... oh well... Maybe I'll give it another try later.
Thank you! :)

Stuck at the landing platform. Found a hint there, but it does not seem to lead me anywhere.

Original Post. The head of the thread, above. The part that says HINT.

No. Please edit your post as this is potentially leaking.

Stuck on a handwriting part but thanks for the fun so far ^^

check OP for help regarding my handwriting. I hope you get to find it since you own none of the games and gifted quite a lot in a short time :-)

Thanks for hint 2. I think that's as far as I'm gonna get so I'll leave it there :D

give up.
Solved the ITH, but no idea what to with the result of link given

I found the handwriting part, but I don't understand how to use it (even with the hint...).
I mean: I tried some combinations, but maybe I'm misidentifying some letters/numbers. :(

The problem is, I would really like to help, but I also consider those who made it without hints, and I have to not make it unfair for them.

For which image are you requesting a better resolution version ?
edit : nevermind, I know which picture you're working on.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you look at the solution now you'll see that the resolution had nothing to do with the visibility of the hidden code - at least not with the Paris image.

I don't think so. I found some text hidden in the image when I messed around with it in photoshop, but no link. & then I gave up because I actually fully read the initial post & realized that my level was too low to enter - that & I was starting to get an headache.

Hi ! If it's there...then it has something to do with the puzzle

This is a giveaway for the Hitman Collection, including :
Hitman: Codename 47
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman: Blood Money
Hitman: Absolution
Hitman: Sniper Challenge
If you don't own MORE THAN TWO of those games you're welcome to participate. You must be at least level 2 and have a profile in good standing (no unactivated gifts, no gift won twice, no VAC ban). The giveaway ends in a week.
You can start here
It is hard, but it's not broken, so disregard people stating that they found a link that "doesn't work".
HINT : Many people seem to have a problem with my handwriting. Fair enough, if you find what you are supposed to find there's no reason to get stuck just because I write like shit. So, here's the format for that thing you found but couldn't figure out :
lowercase letter, lowercase letter, number, lowercase letter, number.
HINT 2 : For the part that is not handwritten... Be careful with the font. It makes everything look like it's uppercase.
HINT 3 : An user who just solved the puzzle warned me about something : when you get to the second dropbox image, DO NOT SAVE IT by right-clicking it. Instead, use the dedicated button in the dropbox interface.
That should be enough.
SOLUTIONS
1) A puzzle about bald guys :
1 - John Travolta
2 - Patrick Stewart
3 - Verne Troyer
4 - Barbie
5 - Britney Spears
Answering correctly gives you this link
2) First dropbox image :
If you look carefully at the image, you might notice in the upper-left corner, some text hidden in the HUD : i.imgur.com/fgL5wVH.jpg
3) Imgur image :
If you look carefully at the image, you will probably find letters hidden in the background. They are - obviously - upside down, so just twist your head at 180°, ouch, and you'll see the letters are ef1t6.
You know what do do with 5 characters codes if you are, let's say, a steamgifts user : www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ef1t6/
4) Hitman Absolution giveaway :
Wait, what, this giveaway ended a year ago ! But a message tells you you are in the right place. Up until now my puzzle was about pictures, so it's safe to assume it's the same on this step. Just have a look at the image posted on the giveaway and you might notice these words : "reserved for bumps".
When I created this thread I made a "reserved for bumps" post, at the top of the page (or at the bottom if you're using an addon for SG). There is a super duper secret url hidden in this post. Just look at the source code to find it : https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7euyuhu1a6nddo/01.jpg?dl=0
5) Second dropbox image
If you've spent too much time on this picture I'm certain your face started looking like the one in it. Sorry about that, some people like it challenging and I had to change my method a bit.
There's a reason why this picture is not hosted on a "regular" image hosting site. Putting it on such sites will slightly modify it and strip it from informations that might have been hidden, for instance, secret text written in the data of the image. Download the image and open it with a text editor. At the end of the code, I added an url : www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/gO9ZfQFx
6) Second itstoohard puzzle :
1 - 640509-040147
2 - 5
3 - Merces letifer
4 - romania
5 - WA2000
6 - silverballer
7 - rubber duck
8 - smith
Variations of the format for the answers were included, so that you could still get it right if you wrote "5 fathers", "five", or "five fathers" for instance.
Solving this itstoohard puzzle gives you an url : http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/b8233484-ec42-11e5-8d20-04019cc0dc01
7) Final dick move :
However, if you just click the link, it takes you to a DiRT showdown giveaway of mine that ended a while ago. Instead of clicking the url you've been given upon completing the itstoohard puzzle, Just copy the url and paste it in your browser, it will take you to the correct giveaway.
I hope you had fun working on it, please let me know, feedback is always useful.
