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.

    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

  • Hole 26 - Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword - KaneTheBigRed and lejyoner00

    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.

    Location in the Riddlers Labyrinth group.
    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.

Well, if you use the fragments at the right place in the right order, it definitely works.

The hint for 13 is veeery nice, but I'm afraid that if I'd say one more word about it, I'd give away too much, heh heh.

I had followed the fox from 15 onwards but yet I still can't get 30. I must have miss something obvious? I figured it must be pretty obvious cos you all are saying face-palming.

Fox, could you please add the direct links for the closed giveaways (holes)? So people could know, what to look for and what to not.

It would be better to mark them as closed. The open ones use them, and finding the entire way by yourself (with or without some hints) is a part of the fun.

FINALLY figured Hole 25 out. 30/30. Thanks guys for all the fun provided. I don't think I could endure digging any further.

Managed to get all 30/30. And... could only enter 2. Either had the rest or they were closed. That makes Kapol a sad kitsune. Oh well. At least it was fairly fun overall. And I saved the solutions just in case another puzzle popped up.

I think it would be best to let this rabbit hole thread rest after the last giveaway from it is over...but considering how much fun it was for everyone involved, I wouldn't be surprised to see another rabbit hole thread in the future.
