THE PUZZLE IS OVER BUT YOU CAN STILL FIND SOMETHING NICE HERE

First Puzzlemania train! Please, join the group :)

Inside: 15 giveaways for LVL1+ and 2 AAA giveaways for LVL2+

UPD1. 12.12. I see that many people are struggling with the puzzle and many do not quite understand it. So, here I give you two examples (see the attachment to the post), I hope they will help. The answers in the title attributes of the images, so just hover the mouse over an image to know the answer. The examples are probably not the best ones, they are just the ones I quickly came with. Also, the logic used in the puzzle varies a lot. It can deal just with the title, as well as with the plot or with some words playing, etc. So, do not consider the examples as everything you need. They only should point your mind toward the right direction.

UPD2. 12.12 Ok guys, I tried to create a difficult puzzle and I succeeded! Not everyone is happy about that though. People blame me about the vague questions and bad logic... So, I added hints to all questions! Now, the difficulty of the 1st part is a lot lower. Check it out! If you do not see the hints, try answer wrongly any question and then refresh the page. After you solve the first part, please tell me what you think about the questions. Were they bad or good?

UPD3. 12.12. We have first solvers of the first part!! Congratulations guys, you are awesome! Hall of fame is located here.

UPD4. 12.12. The hints have been added to the second part!

UPD5. 12.12. The hints have been added to the third part!

UPD6. 12.12. Congratulation to Migga as he is the first solver of all three ITH puzzles! What an impressive achievement! But will he manage to get access to AAA giveaways?..

UPD7. 13.12. I just added the second hint for the first question in part 1.

UPD8. 14.12. Do you want additional hints? Just vote for them! There are three different polls: for part 1for part 2for part 3.

UPD9. 15.12. The second hint for P1Q2 has just arrived! Now, this question is almost trivial :) Also, another hint added for P3Q5 and P3Q1!

UPD10. 16.12. Additional hints added for all the questions in part 3! Also, added a hint for P2Q3.

UPD11. 17.12. A big hint for the first AAA has been added!

UPD12. 18.12. Many additional hints for part 2 have just been added!

UPD13. 24.12. Only one day left! Many new hints are posted, everyone can solve the puzzle with them!

UPD14. 25.12. Who reached AAA giveaways but did not manage to solve corresponding puzzles, check them again! Solutions are waiting for you!

Hi guys, I hope you are doing great! There will be 17 giveaways in this train because SG does not allow me to create more at this moment.

First, some time ago I creative d my first puzzle, which was a really simple one. Then, I promised to create a more difficult puzzle later. Now, this is the time to do it!

Second, I created a group called Puzzlemania for all the people at SG who are addicted with awesome puzzle we are constantly solving here. I think it has some potential in the future. For example, not everyone has time to daily visit the forum to find out if there are new puzzle trains or puzzle from their favourite author or any other stuff s/he likes. We can post links to new puzzles at the group forum, so people will get notifications about them on Steam. Probably, we even can have some kind of leader board for all the puzzles. There are many ideas but we need to start with something, that's why I kindly ask you to give this group a try and join it :)

Third, the most interesting part, the puzzle itself. The train consists of three cars, you will gain access to each of them by solving the corresponding ITH puzzle. No playing with HTML code, image descriptions, XLATE, etc. Seriously. Zelgh's guide is really awesome but will not help you this time. What will help is logic and knowing some movies. No-no, don't close the page yet. You will not have to guess movies by screenshots. Instead, you will be given a number of pictures, which can serve as covers for different movies. All you need to do is to name them (movies, not covers)! Yes, as simple as that. All titles were taken at IMDB website, so you would better check your answers there.

Fourth, the rules. They are pretty usual: do not share answers, do not share links to the giveaways. Please follow them. If I notice something smelly is going on, I will blacklist everyone who is connected to breaking the rules. In the worst case, I will just cancel the puzzle (very-very-very unlikely, but you were warned, were not you?).

Fifth, the time. All giveaways will end at the 25th of December, so you have 2 weeks. It also mean that you will get your games for the Christmas!

Sixth, the prizes. They are good, although not expensive. There are 15 of such giveaways. However, if you solve all three parts, you will get three pieces of something, which can be used to obtain the access to 2 awesome non-bundled AAA giveaways. So, 17 giveaways in total.

Seventh, the hints. I personally do not like hints, but in case I see that the puzzle is too difficult, I will give plenty of them, so do not worry about this :)

Ok, now you are ready to go! Please, start here, relax, have fun and enjoy your ride!

I've tried, but after over an hour of reading about different encryption methods and trying different things with no results, it's time to take a break. I'll check next week if there are any new hints or any more solvers, and give it another go then. Otherwise you'll just have to give your games to SpaceClick :D

Still stuck on P1Q1.
Clearly my English isn't good enough... not to mention my maths skills :P

English skills is helpful in all puzzles, but math knowledge is helpful in that particular question. People with an engineering education or others who have done university level math could get that one without hints ;) I think you should be able to solve it even without the math knowledge, but it becomes a bit harder.

Q5 is killing me, I think I have tried 30+ movies in there....

Edit: Finally! I tried the simplified name and it didn't work, after 150 tries of other movies decided to go back to that one and done.

Edit: Was so excited that forgot that there were two more parts... Working on P2, Q1 and Q5 done. Need fresh brain for rest.
