okay, this may sound a liiiittle teeeeny tiny bit crazy, but we, Kerros and ᵏᵉʳᵒ, may have accidentally sent frogs into the past.

BEFORE ANY FINGER IS POINTED, the frogs went there on their own. ... wherever they are that is.

see, we were just conducting completely legal not at all risky experiments on time travelling and..... what, you don't care? oh.

oh well. guess we'll have to forget about the 50 giveaways.... what, you're suddenly very interested? REALLY? oh thank goodness!

so here's the breakdown of it. we were preparing giveaways for you all, and had finished puzzles with hidden codes to find...

this and that happened, mischievous frogs stole our codes and after a long chase, they hopped into our time machine.

so now they've been sent into the past of the giveaways they had codes for. crazy right? ᵏᵉʳᵒ never thought the machine could-cough. moving on. ¦v


here's the plan:

we have 3 World Maps. these will tell you which games each frog went into, but you'll have to decrypt their enigmas.

THE WORLD MAPS
World Map 1 World Map 2 World Map 3

once we have the names of the games, all we'll have to do is find the giveaways from the past made for these games!

thanks to the Archive, we'll be able to find them easily.

all that'll be left for you to do is to search for the frogs inside the giveaways.

since they only used our time machine just now, the frogs must be in the last comment of these giveaways, so check there first!

also, since the machine wasn't finished, all the frogs must be in public giveaways, since it's not powerful enough for anything else.

once you've found the frogs, just hover your mouse over it, you'll get its code! use it to unlock a piece of the sets.

you'll have to find which piece matches your codes with the enigmas. you'll need 5 codes for each set.

gee, that's a lot! only the determined time-explorers shall be rewarded! that being said,

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY SEARCHING!
SET 1 SET 2 SET 3 SET 4 SET 5
SET 6 SET 7 SET 8 SET 9 SET 10

TL;DR: find the games' names in the World Maps, search the Archive with the names, search in every finished public giveaway's last comment for a time-travelling frog. hover your mouse over it to receive its code. find where to use the code in the sets. find all 5 codes for a same set to unlock its rewards! a total of 50 giveaways await!


update zone if anything related to the frog search happens, it'll be written here!

WORLD MAP 1 : 20 / 20 FOUND | WORLD MAP 2 : 20 / 20 FOUND | WORLD MAP 3 : 10 / 10 FOUND

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU FOUND ALL THE GAMES' NAMES! :O HEAD TO THE ARCHIVE TO SEARCH FOR THE FROGS!

- - - - - - - - THE EVENT IS OVER! - - - - - - - -

thanks to everyone, every frog is back safe and sound! here they are, following the orders in the sets!

thank you to everyone who played and congrats to all who managed to find all the frogs!

additionally, if you feel like playing with them, here's a frog with whom you can play cosplay! :3
here's a frog album if you want to have individual frogs

Fun fact: Shan Gui wouldn't even be considered anime, because it's Chinese. Still, that doesn't make it less weeb :3

I'm still not finished with the HUNT for the frogs but have a bump for now. This deserves more visibility.

EDIT: And finally I have found them all. Some of those frogs were really cute. This alone was probably a lot of effort. Can we get the images of them here in the main thread after the event has ended? I thought about saving the pictures too late and NO, I'm NOT gonna search them again.

Thanks for the event.

Nice ^^ Thanks for the image. This time I saved it directly. Would be interesting to make at a (much) later point another ITH and check if people can identify the game just by looking at the frogs. I think for at least half of them it is pretty easy. Depends probably on how familiar one is with the games. I think my favourite is the Ys Origin frog although I have problems determing which goddess is depicted ^^ Well, thanks again for the event.
