We made it tradition in Touhou Giveaways to organize public SG events from time to time, rewarding everybody with decent giveaways as a "giveback" to the community. Every event is unique, carefully prepared by Touhou Staff, with contributions from various Touhou Giveaways members. This way we want to show that giveaway groups are not only about giveaways, and it's the community that plays important part in creating a successful group of lovely people.


This time we'll put you to the test. Your every ability and skill will come useful. In cooperation with other SG members, you'll be working hard on solving the biggest mysteries we prepared for you, which will require versatility, especially games, movies, music, anime and memes knowledge, and that's only the beginning.


Rules

  • There are over 289+ giveaways, from which at least 245+ can be obtained through teamwork of whole SG community. We have prepared many different bundled and unbundled giveaways, including No Man's Sky, so everybody should find something worthy :3.
  • Event will last until 20th August 00:00 CEST (my birthday)
  • Your objective will be to find out the origin of over 300 audio samples, from various games, movies, bands, TV serials and likewise.
  • In order to avoid cheating, every sample has been converted into awesome chiptune-like 8-bit arrange done by our beloved ArchiBoT. We made sure that every song sounds properly and can be solved. We included extra info about format we expect for each question, therefore you can use that as a hint.
  • The task is divided into two categories: Group puzzles and Single puzzles
  • If given song was used in more than one place, original origin matters (where it was used for the first time), unless format specifies otherwise.

Group puzzles

Group puzzles are supposed to be solved by the SG community. You can (and should) work together on solving these ones. I strongly encourage you to use the thread for sharing hints, thoughts, possible clues and other useful information regarding questions being asked. You can ask anybody for help, apart from Touhou Giveaways members (who are also excluded from participation).

Every group puzzle features mini-train after solving all questions, and they're further categorized into matching themes, so solving RPG puzzle consisting of RPG-like questions will reward you with many awesome RPG games!

Single puzzles

Single puzzles are supposed to be solved solo, so I'd appreciate if you did not share hints, thoughts or otherwise useful information regarding them. Those puzzles are divided into three categories, and I'm sure that everybody can solve at least one of those solo, so why not give it a try?

Easy

Those are puzzles which are considered easy to solve for majority of people.

Easy #1
Easy #2
Easy #3
Easy #4
Easy #5
Easy #6
Easy #7
Easy #8
Easy #9
Easy #10
Easy #11
Easy #12
Easy #13
Easy #14
Easy #15
Easy #16

Medium

Solving those might require prior knowledge of particular game/movie, but that knowledge is considered quite common in this case.

Medium #1
Medium #2
Medium #3
Medium #4
Medium #5
Medium #6
Medium #7
Medium #8
Medium #9
Medium #10
Medium #11
Medium #12
Medium #13
Medium #14
Medium #15
Medium #16
Medium #17

Hard

Solving those usually requires expert knowledge of particular game/movie, very often obscure and otherwise unknown or rare titles. Maybe reward will be worth it?

Hard #1
Hard #2
Hard #3
Hard #4
Hard #5
Hard #6
Hard #7
Hard #8
Hard #9
Hard #10
Hard #11


Hints

We made our best to focus on community aspect of our event, therefore majority of giveaways (245 out of 289 total) are behind group puzzles. We expect that you'll solve them quite easily. If it becomes too difficult, we will give you some hints, but we'll also reduce amount of giveaways for that gate, so hard-work will be much more rewarding :3.

Regarding single ones - giveaway creator's rules apply. We have prepared two hint phases: at 15th August and 18th August, offering every giveaway creator to decide if (s)he wants to disclose any hints (or not).


All clear?

Then go solve those mysteries! We wish you all good luck!


AND NOW FOR THE FIGHT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...

Too bad, I can't do "recognize this song" questions... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Hoped it'd be something I could help with.
Best of luck everyone.

Easy#7 has two possible answers, the official movie name and the shorter version that is the answer. It shouldn't stump anyone, but my first guess was wrong due to that.

Edit1: Easy#10 should allow for commas.

Hey guys. There are 5 songs I prepared in the single puzzles section. I won't tell you which ones, but I just want to say that it might help you to have some knowledge of generic pop songs from slightly older years. Maybe if you don't recognise them, your parents might. But it may depend on the country you're from. They weren't equally popular in all places in the world.

I'm not too fond of leeching, I'll see how many of those songs I can identify.
