Should I train, and should there be tickets?
Gaaaah, why did I choose the puzzle option?? And how is anybody being able to solve this puzzle??? There are even more to come. I am able to answer two of your questions in the first puzzle. Am I missing something? Where's your sheet with all that personal information about you? I am feeling really stupid right now, but how am I suupposed to answer any of these questions? It is driving me completely mad atm.

between the question and the hints you dont need anything else. You will have to make a small handful of guesses if that.

Current Stats:
7,051 guesses
109 players
14 solvers
So an average of about ~65 guesses per player, with 87% of players still unable to complete the puzzle without further guessing. Our definitions of "handful" differ :)

if people took the info I gave them, then used a little google magic, Yes it is a handful of guesses. the people who have contacted me that have solved, most did not have to make too many guesses. The ones who made a lot of guesses were on the wrong track in the first place and once getting on the right track found the answer right away.
and as stated above, thats 2nd puzzle stats which requires no guessing really.

Ahh, my apologies for misreading Troieve's comment :) But my point for the second puzzle still stands, there's a lot of guessing going on without success. I didn't get the impression that you wanted to it be that prohibitive for train progression?

People are just not seeing the patterns or paying attention to the clues. Everything is right there in front of you. All the answers are obtainable especially with the hints. It is far from a guessing game for the 2nd puzzle. If you are guessing you are on the completely wrong track and have not been paying attention.

Also for the record, I do appreciate your effort and generosity in putting this all together. Hopefully more of us will figure out how we're not paying attention.

i seen the P2-Q1 progresion many times, but the one that would come there in the progresion i know its the wrong answer xD weird...

It's more enjoyable to see people complaining about the puzzles than it is to waste time attempting them.

Thanks for the puzzle fun.. but question 11... Grrr. tried 150 options that all could be the answer based on the question.. but aren't the one that you have in your head; the question just seems too vague. Either that or it requires special knowledge of a game that I (or google) have never heard of :oP

Would you mind re-checking the Q11 to make sure it's spelled correctly and everything?
14 people out of 114 could have stumbled onto the spelling you had in mind. Did you copy/paste the name from Steam store?
EDIT: Finally got Q11. I could just strangle you xD
On the other hand- I love you for Q1 <3

Halfway through the second puzzle. Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15 left...
Comment has been collapsed.
Q7, Q9, Q15 to go. As for Q7 and Q15 I'm already running out of ideas, so time for Q9

Bump for banging my head against the wall until the first question made sense.

I don't understand most of the questions in the third puzzle.
I can't find the sequence, Q5 refuses everything and the last question refuses everything as well.

Bump for nice free train, and where or when did the hints appear?
Comment has been collapsed.
The site is obviously a bit buggy, it took a while for the hints to appear for me too even after the time elapsed and the site marked several answers at first as incorrect even though they were correct.

ah fuck it... I don't know how to solve that puzzle

Still not made it through to the last part, but I just wanted to say that I appreciated these puzzles so much that I got inspired to do my own, just posted it :)

I find it odd that in the last 10 hours the number of people who completed puzzle 2 jumped from 14-24. If anyone has been sharing answers or links then I will have to cancel the final giveaways and redo them. IF anyone knows of anyone sharing or asking for answers/links, please let me know so I can blacklist and block.

Sorry to hear that. Puzzles should be fun to solve, but unfortunately there are always people who want to do it the easier way. From what I've seen the number of solvers was slowly rising over time to 18 few hours ago. I'm not sure how it changed later. Maybe it's just the weekend?
Nevertheless even if the giveaway will be redone I'm still going to try and solve the last 4 questions just for the sake of finding the answers.

Well, it took me a while to work my way through your puzzles and after a good night of sleep and some more thinking and examining I finally solved it. Maybe more people shared this experience. I was solver 17. Last time I checked in it was 23 solvers.

Ah unfortunate side effect of puzzles, sadly. No way to really know or enforce anything certain. I get suspicious when two people solve it within 5 minutes of each other. :P Then again, I'm suuuper paranoid.

I think it's mostly people who were stuck on 1-2 questions and finally got them
Comment has been collapsed.
Hopefully it wasn't leaked as I finally just found what the code was and solved Q10. Still to work out Q9, Q11 - Q13 and Q15 but at least I know what I'm looking for now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe because it's the weekend and people are more available. I only saw everything on Friday.

Puzzle 1. Only Q1 missing. And the hint eliminates one answer that I eliminated already. Doesn't look very helpful:(
EDIT: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Puzzle 2. I'm really reeeaaaally stuck on Q4, Q6, Q7 and , Q11!
Q4: Maybe I do not know what you're talking about.
Q6/Q7: maybe is something english native speaker solve easily
Q11: even if I found that Code you were talking about before in the thread, I really can't solve that one. I examined, I swear. but what?

So I was looking at my profile earlier and I saw that I can make 41 active giveaways at once. I thought that this might be a good way to get rid of some of my games from my list of 500+ keys/urls/gifts. I mean, these are games just sitting around collecting dust and waiting to be played. What better way to get rid of them than a train right?
Well that is up to you guys and it is also up to you guys how I do it as well.
A: The Free Ride Option
I do a train and start it right in this thread and anyone and everyone can hop on. This makes for a ton of entries and less of a chance of winning for everyone involved. It will be mostly bundle games and a few non-bundle games.
B: Pay For Your Tickets Please
I do a train and start it right in this thread but instead of a direct URL it starts with a puzzle. The first puzzle gets you into the first tier of games which is level 0 and bundles only. From there you will eventually hit a transfer. The transfer will be another puzzle that will get you into the next set of giveaways that will be level 2+ and be a mix of bundle and non bundle games. The final transfer will be another puzzle that will get you into the final giveaways that will be Non-bundle awesome games (No bad rats crap here people). The final giveaways will be for level 3+.
C: No Train For Me Son
I don't do a train and instead just make a random non-bundle giveaway right in this thread. There will be a puzzle to get the link though.
D: What's A Train?
You don't know or you don't care, either way you don't want a giveaway. This option makes it easy for me.
So it is time to decide our fate people! To train or not to train?
No decisions are made until there are at least 700 votes
EDIT For option B, the puzzles start easy and get progressively harder.
EDIT For option B, The 3rd Tier would consist of games like GTA V, The WItcher 3, Evolve, Dying Light, etc...
EDIT So the votes are in and free ride is the winner but I think I'm going to do it a little different. Since people were obviously interested in the other option I will be doing a little of both. More info to come soon, watch the thread for the train...
EDIT The train is rolling out! All are welcome to board but not all will make it to the final destination! This first part of the train is ready, The second part will be available soon so keep an eye on that last giveaway for a description update! Hop on the Nazty Train!
EDIT The 2nd part of the train is complete. There are a mix of bundle and non-bundle games. The contributor level required is 2+. Working on a puzzle for the final part of the train now. Part 3 = 3 AAA Titles...
EDIT The Final part of the train is complete and ready for those who can finish the puzzle. This one requires more thinking. The giveaways for the final games are open for 2 weeks.
EDIT To help spur you guys on, I will reveal one of the games for completing the final puzzle... The Witcher 3
