Hello again, I was planning for a more visually stunning puzzle, but I lost access to my trusty potato laptop, so I had to improvise.
At least I didn't lose these game keys. Solve this puzzle for a chance to win:

As always, I will not share any hints if people are getting it, and I will share the solution when the GAs end.
Lets start off with an anti-human check!

Solution

  • The anti-human measure is easy to beat on mobile, or by inspecting the page. If you pay attention you should be able to spot the one dot that actually hides a link. In cases like this I like to use this extension in order to find hidden links. Secret sniffer will also reveal the hidden link.
  • The secret links to a comment where I left instructions in order to find the giveaway url code. You can experiment with the website, google, or check the about section to understand how it works. Once you follow my instructions, you will find this page.
  • The line "the giveaway code is ylcrb" is hidden in said page. Sadly, the Library only allows for the use of lowercase characters. The format for the giveaway code is included in the previous hidden link: XXxxx.
  • ylcrb becomes https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/YLcrb/.

Found the wall of letters and shelves and things, but stymied by the amount of stuff there. Will have to pass as searching on phone is unpleasant.
Bump for interesting though.

alright, I'm entirely new to this so apologies for bothering you if what I'm asking is stupid. I found the giveaway code but how do I use it? I tried accessing the link
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xxxxx/ - xxxxx being the puzzle solution
but its redirecting me to the main page.
I also tried adding the game title after the last slash in the URL but it does not change anything - e.g. https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xxxxx/crossedland

I tried searching for some examples of past puzzles to understand how people join the hidden giveaways and from what I saw the usual approach is putting the code in the abovementioned url. is it possible there is a limitation for a new account or I should treat it as a hint and the puzzle solution is not a giveaway code per se?

As a footnote I want to say hi to the community and add that I never thought that I will find a steam giveaway website with community that is creating a CTF-like challenges on a regular basis. This is gold and I love what you have here. Definately gonna stick around and I cannot wait until I have some spare keys to make some challenges for you as well.

Putting the giveaway code in place of xxxxx in the first URL is indeed the way to get to the giveaway, just be sure to include the / after. Anything after that is ignored, so you don't need the game title.

If that redirects to the main page I'm afraid it means you don't have the correct code. Note that all codes are case sensitive.
