How are we supposed to figure out Q7 from puzzle 1? There's nothing at all in the puzzle about the game that you are giving away, and it's not like there are any Pokemon games on Steam.
EDIT: Bump, solved 1 and 5.

Just solved P10, so here's a bump for my sixth solve. The total lack of solvers on P7 and P9 isn't really encouraging me to start working on those. P2 is making me feel stupid, and I feel like I know what P8 wants but I don't know how to answer.

There we go, P2 down for a seventh solve. P9 is bugging me, since I'm usually much better at that kind of thing and I can barely get any of them. P7 seems to be too cryptic overall (has anyone even managed to get one answer there yet?). And P8 seems to be exactly what you want it to be - if you don't already know, good luck.

It seems that P7 proved to be harder than I thought it would be. Also, there will be no hints for it. Maybe in the last 24 hours, but that's not very likely either.
And in order for me to offer hints for P9 I will need more intel from people so I can figure which ones really need them and so far only scaliana has helped with that.

Alright, I got 16. Nobody has the whole puzzle yet, but at least one person has solved each one now.
EDIT: And your new hint for 5 took me all of two seconds. I was ignoring the element that you made clearer.
EDIT 2: And 3 just clicked, so now I just need to spend some time messing around with 7.

Bumping this with my progress:
P1 - Q6 and 7 missing
P2 - Q2 missing... tried every cover singer i found.. =/
P3 - Solved
P4 - Stuck on Q5.. any hint? (im definitively not a youtube guy)
P5 - Solved
P6 - not yet
P7 - not yet
P8 - your name? (stuck)
P9 - 0 solvers (what can i say ?)
P10 - WTF? (stuck)

Gonna chime in with my progress again. I've gotten puzzles 1 and 5, I'm still stuck at Q2 of puzzle 2, and I've also gotten the first 2 questions from puzzle 10. On the subject of puzzle 2, I've tried every artist I can find who's done a song by that title, covered or otherwise, and I'm stumped. Is there some kind of trick to it? A particular format? And with puzzle 10, I can't see how questions 3 and 4 can have objective answers. Again, any tips?

Solved puzzle2... The rest is too hard for me. But still trying! My poor brain :/

Still stuck on P9Q1 and I think I won't figure it out without any hints. I went through most of the games available on Steam, but none of the title seems to fit (Didn't try each one of them though). Either I'm misinterpreting the image or I had (again) a spelling mistake on one of my earlier tries.
I'm wondering why the image is displayed twice, is this relevant?

Here, I fixed your hint up a bit for you. http://i.imgur.com/qcKV25v.gif

I still feel like I know the answer to Puzzle 8 and I'm just putting it in wrong. A hint along the lines of "first name only" or "first and last" or "full name" or "the whole response" would help a lot with the feeling that I've already put in the right answer, but didn't format it right. Or if you don't like that style of hint, the number of blanks that need filling in would do just as well. Just something to make it obvious that you're looking for "Ash" or "Ash Ketchum" or "You're Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, aren't you?" as opposed to the other two. Right now, every guess I make has me wondering if I've already given up on the right answer because I picked the wrong format.
Spoilers: I don't actually think the answer is Ash Ketchum, that's why I used him as an example.

Lol can't get P1Q7... no idea about the game you would giveaway (well obviously it isn't pokemon)

Solved 8/10, giving up. "Name the game" is not my game, and in "Capture one" can't grasp what you ask for. I'll give it a try before it ends (maybe you will give some hint(s) that get me thinking in right direction).
Overall very nice set of puzzles, a bit too googly, but subjects were interesting. Thanks for the experience )

Hello, Steamgifts.
It's been over a month since I've made a puzzle giveaway and I decided that it's time I made a new one, only this time things are a bit different.
There are 10 puzzles/quizzes and 10 giveaways in total, but out of those only one giveaway is for a fairly nice non-bundle game whereas the rest are for cheap, bundled games. Each of the bundled giveaways has a minimum CV requirement of $5 while that of the non-bundle is $30.01.
I will not tell you which is which and you will only be able to find it by solving or by getting lucky. The order of the puzzles is quite random and so are the giveaways for most part. As Award would say: "Each puzzle requires a different kind of knowledge.", but Google should be able to help you overcome most of the obstacles. Some puzzles will definitely prove more difficult than others, but as we all know, difficulty is relative and subjective, so I expect to see at least a few solvers on each.
All current giveaways will end on May 24th at approximately 6 PM GMT. Right now, my plan is to make a second non-bundle puzzle and giveaway that will only be accessible to those who have solved ALL the previous puzzles and that will last until the end of the month, but this entirely depends on the number of people who manage to solve them all. It may or may not happen.
I've checked all the puzzles to make sure that there are no mistakes, but I did not manually solve them all as I believe that the first 10 solvers deserve their places on the Leaderboards. So if you are sure that there is a mistake in one of the questions feel free to post here and I will check it again for you, but because I want to avoid the unpleasant experiences from my previous puzzles, if you report a mistake, I check it and there is nothing wrong, your future reports will be ignored. I don't want to be mean, but I also don't want to see the thread filled with fake reports.
As per usual puzzle rules, please do not share answers, links, do not work together (this is not a group puzzle) and do not try to cheat in any way. If you need hints post in this thread and I will see what I can do. The more hint requests I receive, the easier it is for me to figure which questions actually do need them. I might also add additional giveaways to the puzzles that prove to be the hardest (except for the non-bundle one).
Please post here when you solve a puzzle and also bump it as often as you can because I want the puzzles to get as much exposure as possible.
The puzzles are completely unrelated and solving one will not help you solve another, please don't waste time trying to find connections between them as there really aren't any.
Solutions are now included here and I will also highlight the questions that some of you found to be more difficult.
Puzzle #1 - For the last question, the name of the game could be obtained by combining the first letter of each of the previous answers.
Puzzle #2
Puzzle #3
Puzzle #4
Puzzle #5
Puzzle #6
Puzzle #7 - Collective nouns
Puzzle #8 - The English version of my name was posted on my profile along with my country. All you had to do was to translate it.
Puzzle #9 - Nothing to add here, now that the solution is posted.
Puzzle #10 - This puzzle was created using the murloc translator that is available online, you had to answer in the Murloc language and the last question required some googling.
My Blacklist is being enforced on every giveaway so I am posting it here too as to save those on it some time.
Alright, that is all I had to say, the official starting date of the puzzles is May 16th.
Good luck!
EDIT May 18th 2014:
As some of you may have already figured, the initial non-bundle giveaway was #9. I've now made a few changes, so now #7 also has a non-bundle giveaway and I've decided to add an additional bundled GA to #10 due to how unpopular the first title was.
EDIT May 25th 2014 - Added the solutions.
