Last weekend got a little unstable so we're going back to 5 minute giveaways.

I've changed things up a bit for this final round. Instead of the first letter, I will list possible games for the giveaway. This way you get a chance to decide if you want any of them in advance. The link to the real giveaway will appear when there is 5 minutes left. Listed end times are in GMT. Giveaways are posted every 15 minutes.

We're also going to play a guessing game. Whoever gets the highest number of correct guesses of which game is the real giveaway will win a copy of Tomb Raider (2013) or entry into a giveaway if a tie-breaker is needed. Create an account on ItsTooHard.com and make sure the username matches your SteamGifts.com username exactly. Then put in the game name of your guess into each quiz as it is posted. Be sure of your choice as only your first entry is counted. The cutoff for guesses is 1 minute before the giveaway is posted. I'll post a live leaderboard after each round.

You can work together on the final puzzle sharing anything but a direct link to the giveaway. This puzzle is more difficult than previous rounds, but the reward is worth it. Work together and you just might solve it in time! $80 CV required.

I figured out Round 11 through finding the key. If only I solved it first, and then guessed. >_> By the way - Sapphire key. First number of the contributor value = which letter you take from the game being given away. EDIT: And Platinum key. I didn't find it first, but it's the first letter of each linked giveaway. EDIT2: Yeeeeeeeeah Silver key! I feel so smart 'cause I usually suck at puzzles. ^-^ Second letter of second game in each round.

Whats with these keys ? is this the 80$ cv puzzle ? if yes where did you find it and how exactly do you solve this ? if anyone can spare time to tell me i ll also try and solve this . :S

Pretty sure this is the $80 CV puzzle. The description of the key puzzle explains it quite nicely, but I'll explain a bit more about how to get the URLs.

All of the URLs to the keys found so far have started with the letters I, T, and H. In the example of the Platinum key, the first letter of each linked giveaway in each round led to the URL. After the first three linked giveaways in each round, which were I, T, and H, you'd just continue the pattern. Brink Complete Pack = B, Total War: SHOGUN 2 = T, Fly'N = F, and so on. If you look at the URL of the Platinum key, those characters appear after "/puzzle/", which is where you'd input them.

I'm sure every other key can be found using similar logic/puzzle skills; we just have to find them. Hope this cleared things up. :)

Hey, have anyone noticed that the first letter of each line in Th End spells RABITT? Doesn't look like a coincidence.
