The title is a hint, yes. If you don't understand it in english, use Google Translate or any other translation tool to translate it into your language (italian I think?).

I've tried every encryption I know, although the hint didn't really help me.

Google told me to use checksum, but I don't have any software for that.

I think I've figured out what I need to do for the second breadcrumb, but I can't get it to work.

OK I give up :(
I think it is unfair using things like checksums though - people like me don't know how to use them (and I tried Google-ing how to and even found a checksum calculator online) :(

I FOUND IT!!!
I can't believe I didn't think of it. OK I'm off to find the next one.

Do I have to know some cultural reference to understand #4?

I still haven't :(
Any additional hints would be VERY useful.

Okay, you stumped me. =) I can't figure out what to do with the picture on Breadcrumb #2. Even after reading hints and trying everything on the guide. Lol. Good luck peeps.

People who told me to look at the title, I have but I don't know much about English culture. To me it seems like a grammatical mistake. This puzzle really isn't for me, but I'm too curious to know what the game is.
Anyway, I simply do not know what that could mean, is it a reference to a book?

Okay, on number [5], a little stuck, but as this posting thing works - now that I've said I'm stuck, should get somewhere :D Touch wood :D

It's a bit frustrating to get all the way to the end and not be able to answer one final question (10.2). I don't even know what type of answer is expected, since it doesn't seem to really be a question. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh mind... Thanks for the puzzles!

Wow, 10 minutes later and I finally figured it out. Too bad I already own the game :(. Oh well, it's the journey, not the prize. Thanks again!

I'm guessing that you need editing software for [5] guessing by its title
Comment has been collapsed.
OK...
Also the URL for [5] redirects me to a hosting site frontpage so I have to use the imgur site now.
EDIT: Could you put the clue in the imgur site description please?
Comment has been collapsed.
What I meant was, can you change the imgur description to the title of [5] as that contained a clue.

When he giveaway ends, will you post the solutions?

Because of problems with the old hoster, I moved the puzzle to new one.
The old links are not working anymore, but the answers are the same.
Look at the first puzzle for the new link/hoster.

[2] The answer is in the picture.
[3] It's commonly used to check file integrity.

[5] Look closer.
[6] What Tiger?
[6] It's a very big number.
[7] Want a hint? Trial and error :D
[8] It has absolutely nothing to do with math.
[9] The image seems me to be too heavily packed.
[9] Remember [4]?
[10.1] The answer is elementary.
[10.2] It helps if you've read the bible.
[10.3] No comment on that...
Still don't get it? There are many hints spoiled by the solvers and me in this thread.
