Thanks to everyone for participating in the puzzle. I hope it was as much fun solving as it was making. Next time I'll try and make the prizes even bigger. Hope to challenge you again soon!


YAY! PUZZLES!

Been a while since I've done one of these. Usual rules, no leaking/sharing answers ect. People on this magical list approved by support need not bother with the puzzles, as they may not enter the giveaways. Please do not add me to ask why you are on the blacklist.

It's a multi-step puzzle with a few different prizes that gets progressively more difficult. The first two giveaways have a CV limit of $30.01, all others have a CV limit of $0.01.

The prizes:

  • Tier One: Bundle game
  • Tier Two: Another bundle game. Yippee.
  • Tier Three: Non-bundled, average metacritic score of 40-60
  • Tier Four: Non-bundled, average metacritic score of 60-80
  • Tier Five: Three year old AAA, average metacritic score of 90+
  • Tier Six: Recent AAA, average metacritic score of 90+

There will also be several keydrops along the way. The puzzle ends in 10 days (9/30). Enjoy

Due to steam issues tiers five and six will not be avalible until ~24 hours from the creation of this post.

EDIT: If you cannot see the pictures on itstoohard, right click them and copy the URL

EDIT 2: Changed out the link, pics should be fixed.

EDIT 3: Itstoohard is back up, but due to the downtime I haven't been able to complete the last two tiers. They should be up within 24 hours of the update.

Edit 4: All tiers are up and functioning, including the last two.

Edit 5: Puzzle for Tier Five has been slightly modified to make it clearer.

Tier One Hint: I own all the games in the screenshots.

Tier Two Hint (Well more of a clarification): The 47 does not have anything to do with the puzzle.

Sigh... Went through your list 3 times already. (Been suspecting it even before the hint) Trying out likely looking ones based on the screenshots.
I think I already found the answer but had problem with the exact wording...

Even worse, I triple checked the list trying out likely ones. I think the exact wording might not be what you'd expect by copy pasting. :(
(Although I did attempt variations)

Started making the quiz, well for now I have problem with Q3 and Q7, other's were fairly easy.
Though with Q5 I managed just because I remembered that I watched this on someone's stream or yt clip, just exact same moment :D
EDIT: Well Q3 left :D
EDIT2: Went through your game list for the 3rd question, wrong, wrong, wrong, ended it. Hmmm what does this look like.
Wild guess out of nowhere, correct <facepalm> for my own stupidity.
