Just find the giveaway here...

Do not share giveaway, links, hints, tips, etc
three bundlegame giveaways (some older ones, some recent)

Oh man... Why do I feel the need to do this? I was just about to go to bed. Damn, it OP.

EDIT: ALRIGHT, I GOT A SYSTEM. BRING IT ON. (it isn't working at all)

Hang on, is it left to right or both left to right and right to left?

Okay, got one. Will probably do the rest tomorrow. I quite like this style of puzzle. I may steal this idea at some point.

edited first post, its left to right and top to bottom.
You can do it unproportional harder if you do diagonal and/or right to left/bottom to top, haha.

I'm happy you enjoy it!

Just saying. Though I understand people are new to this puzzle business.

I think many people don't consider that a hint as it isn't really part of the puzzle.

I only posted it because I've seen puzzle creators not divulge that information before.

Yes, if the OP asked for it to be taken down that would be fine, but I don't think you should for him. It is a basic thing which is not exclusive to this puzzle.

Well, the OP didn't make clear whether this is or isn't allowed. I was simply quoting word for word what the OP said since no exceptions were specified. Seeing as he hasn't complained yet, I'd agree that it is probably allowed.

Sure, but I think that you should leave something which is not definitely against the OP's rules to the OP.

It's fine.
To find out what the puzzle is, is not the point here.

Bump for solved. :) I think this is the first puzzle that I solved that had something I'd like to enter, so extra thanks for that! :D

edit: Also, I must say that this is quite devilish for people who don't have programming experience. :P

True that. I wrote a Python program to generate all possible codes. I got stuck trying to have Python check if the resulting URLs exist, because I don't think the invalid SG giveaway URLs were returning proper HTTP errors.

Many of the puzzles use these ways, it is a circlejerk after all.
