Instead of the usual puzzles, there is a maze at http://www.gnut.co.uk containing SteamGifts giveaways.

This maze has 25 regular prizes found just by exploring.
There is another prize for reaching the exit and there are 3
additional prizes (one for each difficulty level) for reaching the exit carrying
all 10 'Valve' themed items found in the maze.

All prizes are SteamGifts private giveaways (ending 29th Feb @ 23:55).

Done! Everything is mapped, all giveaways found, all Valve items nabbed, all difficulties complete. Thank you, Microsoft Excel, for your mapping abilities.

OK do a map without going through a weird door but mark them on the map. For the first floor there should be 4 weird doors spread over the map, entering one will cause you to exit it's corresponding door elsewhere on the map.

This. They're just doors that teleport you across floor you're on. Ignore the first one you find, always. It'll just mess with you. The second one you find, go through it and make a quick second map of what you find on the other side. If it matches the area around the first portal, congrats, you now have a fast way across the floor. If it doesn't, go back through and leave it alone until you find a third portal. Repeat.

Why would I do that? :P Also, I didn't realise how to change difficulty until later. I thought you had to complete it on easy first to unlock the higher difficulties.

FOR THE FAME AND GLORY!! Also weird doors dont bother you.. cuz you dont see them.. and you make a big weird errory map.. and find a bunch of same weird giveaways.. and only than realize your map consists of itself inside itself.. Oh the fun times ^^

Other than the portal gun, they aren't. Just get to the end with all ten and you'll get a prize.

As for the ASHPD, just click on one of the buttons to plonk a personal, moveable portal in your current cell. Move to another cell and plonk down one of the opposite colour. The second set of buttons becomes available in the cells with portals in and lets you backtrack rapidly across the map if you went down a dead end.

Actually the crowbar is also useful on higher difficulties.

Right, my bad, forgot about that, since I only met Trevor long after I'd picked it up. Occasionally on the higher difficulties, you'll be attacked by Trevor. If you have the crowbar, you've got a good chance (but not a guarentee) of beating him away without taking damage.

Well, just finished it with all 10 items, that was challenging, really. Thank you.
By the way, i have a question. I have some of those games already, will it be alright if I give entry codes to my girlfriend, so she could enter giveaways with her account? (No sharing besides that of course)

Why? What's a problem? 1 code - 1 entry. TheGreatGooglyMoogly could you answer?

IMHO, This is the same as entering a giveaway just to give the game to your friend if you win.

Glad my time-in-game isn't logged or it would be embarrassing how much time I'm spending on this. 18 give-aways so far, I'm sure I can find'em all!
Thank you very much for creating this!

I don't know if it is random or not, but every "level" was fully complete for me. There was one area that I thought was incomplete, but I just skipped a space in the map and when I went back and carefully rechecked, everything worked out fine.

I've found 8 prizes, and am carrying 3 items...

My Paint.NET maze is getting rather large o_O (1 is finished, I've opened up 2 more...)

"Yes you are allowed to try to map it."

"Sure - That won't take too long!"

...

3 hours later

"So many unopened doors - Must... continue..."
--
The lower you go, the less entries there are - I love it ;D
--
Those "Down" Staircases are starting to make me more paranoid than the SCP Games...
--
I didn't expect this...
--
The maps are starting to interconnect - Although I think I've now found another level...
--
It's finally over - After a day (And a sleep) I have found the exit with 10 items - VICTORY!

And no - "Easy" is fine for me, thanks... :p
