Join the Tavern

Would you like to feature your own giveaway in the Tavern?

This seems like an effective way to counter trolls and bots, and forever expand the puzzlers community :).
Also, I swear on honour that I will not participate to your giveaway until I have myself solved the puzzle. Then again I test all puzzles before posting them...

How?

You can create a private giveaway and send me the link in private through Steam messaging, and I will generate and post the puzzle that will uncover the link.
I encourage setting the contribution level requirement to Level 0, but in no way is it an obligation.
You can also link back to the Tavern in your giveaway description, if you want.

Customization

You can choose the size of the puzzle, depending on how hard you think people should work to participate.
I recommend multiples of 5.
To avoid too complex challenges, I will limit the sum of width and height to 35 for now.

About the Puzzle Creation

I coded myself a tool that can generate these QR Nono puzzles from any given URL or short text.
Even though the puzzles are procedurally generated, I manually test all of them to make sure that they are possible to solve without guessing, and that there is a unique solution for each.
If you have any other idea for a procedural puzzle generator, do let me know :D.


Update Notes

2017-12-10 : Added squares around the hints to make them easier to mark off
2017-12-08 : Initial version
