Event over - Solution and chart posted below


You have to find either hole 1 or 2 first!

I've hidden it somewhere secret.
Maybe inside a hovercraft or assault rifle.
Its for a Just Cause


Hints

  • Surface : You can get this one without digging

  • Hole 1 or 2 will lead to hole 3.

  • Hole 4: You may want to revisit the gala giveaway page and look for the extra secret from a certain bald doctor who shall remain nameless.

  • Hole 5: The doctor has yet another depth level!

  • Hole 6: After meeting the doctor for the second time, the killer lady decided to dig a nuclear hole.

  • Hole 7: Listen to the doctor's advice after finding the lady!

  • Hole 8: The surface may have a ladder to that one

  • Hole 9: A little yellow fellow is lost and phobic of water :( , help him (he thinks hes a cowboy)

  • Hole 10: The wolf dug us a hole not too far from here.

  • Hole 11: The wolf has a helper !!

  • Hole 12: "They can snipe the dot of an eye, no trouble."

  • Hole 13: Look at the source of the first water. (note: not easy)

  • Hole 14: The doctor's ladder will lead you to the hole of terror

  • Hole 15: Foxes like to dig holes too. You'll have to follow the fox and inspect closely. Don't startle the fox!

  • Hole 16: Once you've found the fortified castle, the killer lady awaits inside with gold.

  • Hole 17: After you found the fox at dawn, you can point your finger at him and laugh "Ha Ha".

  • Hole 18: After you've laughed at the fox, and thrown him into the water, you can steal his bacon! Can you find it?

  • Hole 19: Similar to the wolf, The Beard is not far! Some of you have been talking about greed.

  • Hole 20: It looks like some plants grew up into the surface!

  • Hole 21: When you're greedy you might encounter a map of randomness from Sam pointing at the key fragments for the hole.
    Collect the fragments (from 5 different giveaways) and put them together.

  • Hole 22: After you found Sam, Admiral Ackbar will lead you to this hole

  • Hole 23: Orcs want the bacon!

  • Hole 24: This video will show you what to do. (if you cant see it - here )

  • Hole 25: A Traveller's Journey. You may need this MAP

  • Hole 26: Space monkey and his friend have a mount and blade for you to fight the orcs.

  • Hole 27: The anomaly fish will tell you

  • Hole 28: The fox now helps the wolf dig, his hole may lead to an anomaly

  • Hole 29: Whats inside the anomaly? @.@

  • Hole 30: Can you find the wizard? Where could he be? >>.<<
    Perhaps the fox can lead you there


Rabbit Hole Event Solution

  • Hole chart

  • This started a few days ago as just 2 small public giveaways I created.
    I decided to start digging deeper. Over time people joined, and it turned into the amazing Rabbit Hole event.
    Good job guys.

  • All hole giveaways closed! Thank you guys for participating.

  • I would like to give a special imaginary puzzle trophy to Toff and Aironfaar for extra creative, well planned puzzles.

  • Hole chart coming soon

    Location in hole 17, which lead you to a youtube song.
    There you had to press 'show more' to reach the code, which you should've entered as the giveaway link:
    http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/7kwta/

  • Hole 19 - Greed Corp - Aironfaar
    Location on thread
    ctrl + f for 'greed' should've lead you to the proper spot

    Hole 19 left you clues as for where you have to look to get all 5 pieces of the giveaway link code.

    you had to press the third 'dot', the rest was a decoy.

    You had to press the middle part of the link 'orcs', the rest was a decoy.

    Location on surface, which led to Location in hole 1.
    The enigma video was a hint, go back to the beginning. You should've reached it through both 'surface' and hole 1.
    The hint 'return to innocence' written in hole 1 should've let you know you're looking in the right place.

  • Hole 25 - Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle - Toff
    The map shows you which holes to explore for 6 letters to collect from Toff's travel journey.
    The arrows show the order of the letters

    Location on thread.

  • Hole 29 - Lightfish - Minus21
    Location in hole 28.
    It was mainly a hint for the next hole, meaning the same dot pattern will be used and hide something else.

    The video was a hint you were suppoesed to look in the Riddlers Labyrinth, which is quite visible once you scroll down Tzell's profile.

Meh, still missing 15 and 17...just can't find them... :(

EDIT: Hey, posting that you can't find a hole really helps...found 15 just two clicks after sending the comment, lol.

EDIT2: Even better...a couple of clicks later and I got them all. Can't wait for 18!

EDIT3: Damn, you've got me refreshing like mad for the next hint.
