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

  • Hole 17 - Hydrophobia: Prophecy - madnessnewb

    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

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

    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.

    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.

Mind the headline of the map. If you don't know what to do with it, Google might help if you have the right idea!

Yeah, I have only one clue. It's where the map is from, but that's all. :-(
I think this will be the first I will not find.

Edit: I got it. I totally thought in the wrong direction.
p.s. I'm sure it was "papapishu"!

Man I can't find bacon. Found Sam by guessing, this #17 (and thus, what follows) proves to be rough. I thought I have an idea where to look, but probably wrong idea or I'm blind.

Fun scavenger hunt :D (I've got most of them but that #17 - and #18, #23, #26 I guess that's a branch of tunnels)

I think I've tried too long by now lol. I start finding some random stuff in random places, guess have to give up at this point and maybe wait for some clarifications.

But if hints are given out I'd prefer them to be 'official' like they made #9 much easier now from what I saw.
