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 and happy cakeday! I finished the puzzles yesterday way too late at night and hurried myself to bed afterwards. Today I have had some trouble keeping myself somewhat productive at work :D

Fun fact: I had to look up somewhere to listen for me to those simple beeps. I suck at understanding these, and got gibberish each time. Maybe I was already too tired already. Thanks for the enjoyable puzzles!

Мен бардык табышмактарды чечтим, ошол себептен бул талкуу жогорку жакка өтүп жатат.

Still stuck on Cart #7
I got the biliteral substring
Used the same cipher from Cart #1, because I cannot find any other ciphers using biliteral strings
Managed to get 5 characters, all lowercase, which are not the ones to take me to the next Cart.
Any help?
