Welcome to this year's "Year Starting Annual Event!" A unique puzzle experience to start the year off of 2018!

YSAE is a Steam Group of puzzle creators that are found to delight SG with puzzles of various types! This is the 3rd year of annual events! 2017's event was "Down the Rabbit Hole!" by Morshock and crew! 2016's was "Space Kitty's Puzzle Pyramid" which was our first YSAE!

This YSAE I was reminded by Nordhbane that something needs to be done and I threw this together for your entertainment... presently Nordhbane is busy with his Olympic Train. Make sure to check it out!

It's a color crossword where there are no words to put in the crossword grid as normal but just color and block sizes. Doing it correctly will open up hidden JIGIDIs, GAs, and ITHS.

The interlocking of all parts is complex the more you delve deeper into the puzzles!

HAVE FUN!! And don't forget to ask for hints if necessary!

NOTE: For hardcore solvers don't look at the below GA on instructions of how to solve. Just start with THIS Google Docs Spreadsheet FILE or the attached image on this thread. You will have to go to the instructions GA though for the 5 images attached to it to solve further puzzles.

Instructions on how to solve can be found on THIS GA

GAs in event:
Two Digits, Space Grunts, nail'd, Star Vikings Forever, DreamBreak, BalanCity, Heroes of Loot, Tick's Tales, Heroes of Loot 2, Big Buck Hunter Arcade, Mainlining, Goblins and Grottos, Hidden Mysteries: Titanic (2 Copies), The Uncertain: Episode 1 - The Last Quiet Day, Astervoid 2000, Bard's Gold, Unbox: Newbie's Adventure, A Room Beyond, Goosebumps: The Game, F1 2012™, Expand - Soundtrack Edition, Lethal League, Dungeon of the Endless™ - Crystal Edition

Yes, I just can't figure out how to convert the five letters.
Maybe I need some rest and then think again.

Ok, solved the grid, done the Jigidi (really cool BTW), got the GAs, but the ITH... stumped me right out.
It's getting late so I'll get back to them tomorrow.

Anyway, just wanted to give a HUGE thanks to jeffhowe for yet another amazing puzzle event. Nice, man, really nice.
