Aaand we're done!

Not scam, even I won one giveaway!

Hope everybody had as much fun participating in our event as we had during creating it! :3

As promised, here you can find archival google sheet, probably it's a bit outdated as we used it initially for cooperation between eachother, while some special places and other things were added in very last hours.

Hope you join us in future events! :3


Lastly, in case you missed awesome flash animations made by Vaati, you can check all 3 below:

They were included in Moriya's Shrine

Very neat way of hiding giveaways if you ask me :3.


It's that time of the day, Touhou Giveaways will celebrate it's first anniversary at 18th February. Because of that, we're also making another awesome event for SG community, which is open for everyone and will include some really neat giveaways, including AAAs. Prepare your points, you'll need them.

Many things have happened during that year, although most of them are probably unknown to non-members of SG, so there's really no point in listing all of that :3. Dem 2hu memes

Let's sum up, we already had a train, a visual novel, cirno simulator, cat simulator one, two and three... I wonder what is next.


Touhou Giveaways Anniversary Event


Rules

  • Event lasts for 3 days and includes variety of levels, from L0 to L5.
  • You're going to visit the magical world of Gensokyo.
  • Gensokyo is a dangerous world, with many different creatures - both friendly ones, and hostile ones. You'll need to be patient and careful to deal with some potential dangers.
  • We prepared a map for you to help you not get lost - map. This will be your best friend for the next few days. I don't know, maybe you should even print it on paper, so you can add routes you spotted, places you already visited and so :3.
  • There are 24 core places that you should visit. All of them are marked on your map with proper names.
  • There are 26 routes that connect those places together. We had more detailed map with all routes on it, but we lost it somewhere... Don't worry though, every core place lists available routes to other places, so you can manually add those routes onto your map!
  • Every core place in addition may include some special places, including encounters with various humans, youkais and other creatures. Those places are not listed on your map, but they're easily accessable from within the core place itself (e.g. Touhou museum in Human Village).
  • Routes are not always simple. You may not encounter anything when going from A to B, but you may indeed find a danger when coming back from B to A. Do not assume that the route is safe, even if you safely passed through.
  • You start at Human Village, a safe place with no real danger. Feel free to wander around, visit local places (such as the museum), and get along with the game.

Tips

  • The Gensokyo world is really complex, in order to find all available giveaways, you'll need to visit every core place and follow every route both from place A to B, and B to A.
  • In addition to above, you'll also need to visit every special place in every core place.
  • There are also many encounters on your way, again, to find all possible giveaways, you'll need to approach the encounter in every possible way.
  • There are also many hidden secrets, which you can find through your journey. Not all of them are easy to spot, some include a redirect to our external Touhou website, some link to itstoohard puzzles, there are even some SGTools-powered giveaways. Take it slowly, read through the story, spend your time on it and have fun, this way you can be sure to reach giveaways which might go unnoticed by other people, and trust me that it's worth it :3.
  • Beware of bears in the forest!

Start the journey and remember - Take it slowly, read through the story, spend your time on it and have fun!

It would be really funny if you could consider leaving messages for other adventurers in giveaway comments, so we could achieve even better effect!


With help of ArchiBoT, I'm posting some event stats:
Total number of giveaways found: 251 (+⑨ hidden giveaways)
Total number of points needed: 3214 (+X from hidden giveaways)

Hidden giveaways are those which can not be achieved by following a link. They require either going through a third-party external website (such as Touhou Giveaways, itstoohard, SGTools) or are hidden by any other means, e.g. in the description of some giveaway itself.

Great idea, thank you all involved in the implementation.:)
But I'm not sure that I can manage - I managed to lose immediately. It seems that my gps have no signal here, and I'm very bad in orientation with a map.

Very well done! I explored only one section so far and enjoyed it a lot. Happy to see events similar to The Haunted House :) Kudos to you and your group, Archi. Also, please, make credits. I'm interested to see how many people and who exactly worked on each part :)
And I'm a bit puzzled why did you make it last only a few days? It's a huge event which deserves a lot of attention! I would make it at least one week long, though it felt for me that even one week was short with my Haunted House.

You can find contributors already in OP, after end of all gibs I'll also post link to google sheet where we worked together on everything, so you can check every segment.

Found almost everything (missing 2 or 3 Hidden GAs, but not going through everything again to find them ;p), Owns most of GAs, but that's good, at least I'll have points to enter the rest, all in all it was really enjoyable event, so thanks a lot and have a bump ;) But maybe next time make it run longer or at least host it on weekend - it was pretty time-consuming, most of ppl will not have enough points for it and quite a few won't even have time for it as you run it in the middle of a week and people have school/work ;) That would be my only suggestion :>

Event lasts for full 3 days, which is 72 hours. I agree that we should probably make it a bit longer, but nobody expected that many giveaways anyway, first "target" was around 60-70 gibs, and we managed to do nearly 4x more than we expected at maximum.

But still, nothing stops anyone from going through the journey once, and bookmarking all links he considers worthy for later :3.

And those without time to do the thing... Well. One can't join all the giveaways anyway :3.

yup, I did the bookmark thing myself as I usually do with long trains/puzzles ;) but there's a difference between 72h at weekend and 72h at workday ;) For someone who for example got to travel to work - let's say 3h a day, work 8h, eat, sleep etc - having max 1-2 hours a free time on a workday there may simply not be enough time for the journey ;) Compared to whole free day, aka 10-12h of free time on saturday/sunday ;) Not trying to criticize or to be negative, just suggestion for future GAs to maybe run them at least over a weekend ;)

One can always store points in gibs ending later, and do the journey once on saturday, as the event finishes 23:59 CET on 20th Feb.

But of course, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be longer - it should, but nobody expected 250+ gibs :3.

This seems amazing and a huge work, but I wonder why only 3 days. :O This should last at least weeks. xD
Anyway nice, but no idea if I'll find the time to try it before it ends. Work... :S Actually has it already ended? lol.
