Today 16.09.22 my Steam account becomes 10-years-old. So I decided to create some puzzles and giveaways. 10 games for 10 years. Yay!!

Since itstoohard is dead and I'm too lazy to create something creative, I reuse my old ideas or just stole them from someone else. What can you do, ban me? Hehe.

All puzzles are simple. I mean for real. But it's the community puzzle so feel free to give any hints to each other.

The prizes are in the image. Giveaways will end 26.09.2022. All of them are 1st level. Almost all keys are region free, but if they are suddenly not - sorry.

Just to be clear: you can give each other any hints/clues/ways for a solution other than direct answers or links.

People asked for solutions, so here they are:

  1. In the description of the picture below. Just move your mouse over it - UhEvG
  2. In the source code of the page in the description - GR0nn. Btw, ABBA code is the baconian cipher and it's a red herring.
  3. Just copy URL and do not click it - 1du3t.
  4. It's in a picture of the Jigidi puzzle. You don't even need to solve it. If you can't see the code just make screenshot, open it in Paint and use the bucket tool - kCIF3.
  5. 5 rows with 8 squares each. Binary. Shades of gray are 0. Colours are 1. DVdzy.
  6. In the end of the picture if you open it as a text file - Xfwb3. Dots are the braille alphabet. It's the red herring too.
  7. Zipjpg. If you open it as an archive you can find the clue for the online steganography tool which deciphers the image - qAHZi.
  8. The laugh is binary. A is 0, H is 1. GsLBF.
  9. The Morse code gives an URL for another online steganography tool which deciphers the WAV file - O2YQe.
  10. Just a quiz. All of the above puzzles are steganography one way or another. L7UQA

P.S. Some person pointed out to me that steganography isn't a cryptography. Well, you're an old boring person, that's who you are.

Bump for solved and happy 10th Steam account cakeday.
Nice puzzles escollo :)

btw, I saw some naughty users who have been found to enter GA through leaked links in your puzzle and thread. I am not saying they did exactly the same thing here. They might have worked through the puzzles or they might not have who knows. But it is still better to safeguard the GA through SGtools.

Luckily, I was able to go over..
For 5: You should read the "image" in the "wrong way", since it's from an atypical websource...

As gaffi alreay wrote (here), there is always the useful #1 community help, really a magic guide

There are 40 squares in the image and coincidentally enough, 5 x 8 = 40. Hopefully this will turn on your light bulb.
