Wait... 5 December is your Birthday? Are you... Are you SinterKlaas (Saint Claus)?

If yes, then this fact must have escaped me the first 24 years of my life. It's also the date Walt Disney died if I'm not mistaken. But I'm not dead, either. I think.

Yeah, after looking at it myself a few minutes later I noticed how obscure some of the 'questions' actually are. The hints should help a lot, though :)

I'm solver Number 7 :D

The hardest were Q4 and Q5. But 4 was even harder than 5.

Too bad I already got the game.

Blah, stuck on Q4.

I knew what Q6 was even before the hints, despite the fact that I had never played it before. Those hints alos helped greatly for Q1 and Q2 (though 2 should have been obvious, if you one takes the time to think about it). I feel stupid that I didn't get Q5 beforehand, but then again, it's that game's job to make you feel stupid anyway :P

EDIT: Just got Q3. All I needed was a bit of thought, and BLAM! The answer came right back to me!

Q4 turns out to be the hardest of the bunch it seems. Maybe I overestimated the amount of people who played the game as just the other day I saw it handed to people with a massive backlog for peanuts. What a shame.

Just got 4, now stuck on 5. Only got 4 and 6 without the hints, although "running a rollercoaster" put me on the wrong track for Q1 (I thought that meant "operating a rollercoater" rather than "running over a rollercoaster".)

One last hint (maybe not that helpful, I try not to be too unfair to those who solved it without it): 'Happy' might be hidden in my name, but it doesn't mean what you think it means. It also does not reflect the state of my mind.

Anymore clues for Q4?

All the other ones were pretty simple, but I've already put over an hour trying to figure out what Q4 is :D

EDIT: Finally got Q4! Complete! Though the description didn't really fit the game, did it? :/ Maybe I'm just bad :D

It didn't? I put 20+ hrs into it, but haven't played it in a while so maybe my memory is a little skewed there. If there's something you think needs correction feel free to add me on Steam and I'll edit my post to reflect that if necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience :>

Nice puzzle, I tried solving it early before you added hints but it was too vague. Later on I missed it when you added hints but in retrospect it was quite clever.

Thank you for the feedback! I think I learned a thing or two about making them because many people have shared their thoughts while trying to solve this one. It was also a really fun experience for myself and I'm looking forward to doing it again in the near future if there's an occasion and the budget allows it.

Having said this, I think it's a good opportunity to close this thread :)
