The ideas of this event come to my mind while I was looking for a cool way to give stuff (simple giveaways are ... simple giveaway and puzzle are fun but sometimes difficult to solve). My last event (Under The Tree) had a good reception so why not reiterate this ;)

This time you will need to play a graphical version of the game guess the number; you will need to find the position of your beacon in a stars field. Instead of lower or upper indications, the distance between your beacon and your mouse will be given after each click. Of course, the goal of the game is to find the beacon with as few clicks as possible :D

When you have won the game, you have to wait for the closure of the game to know if you are below or above the median of all the winners and therefore which giveaway between Borderlands 2 and Hitman: Absolution - Professional Edition you have unlocked. Of course there are others giveaways :)


Here are some rules and informations for this event: (updated version)

  • Open to everyone who have a Steamgifts account (since all the giveaways will be hosted there)
  • Steamgifts rules apply
  • The game will be open until 7h30 pm the 6th March 2013 (French time) [see in my time zone]
  • The event will be open until 7h30 pm the 13th March 2013 (French time) [see in my time zone]
  • Event gifts will be sent through Steam, in the chat for keys and in a trade for gift
  • The group created for the event will stay public until the end of the game
  • You need to stay in the event (ie. not delete your account) until the giveaways end
  • You need to stay in the group until group giveaways end (if you have entered group giveaways of course :)
  • Instead of sharing giveaways url, invite your friend to participate, it is really easy to win ;D
  • Your beacon is generated when you login for the first time, so do not try to click where your friend won :)
  • Each giveaways will be open for at least one week, to let everyone enter

Now you can go play the game and try to unlock giveaways :D

If you have any questions you can write them in the group, here or by Twitter, I will do my best to answer all :)

I thought this was a cute little game. However, I don't see anything indicating the "median number of clicks." I used a handful of clicks to win, which I thought was pretty good, but I'm still locked out of the Borderlands 2 giveaway. This only bothers me because I DESPERATELY want that game. P

[Edit: Oh, I see. The median won't be calculated until later.]

Well *wipes hands dramatically, that number should suffice for Hitman. I think I just added 20% o_0

Haha, thankfully the calculations are from the median, which is always in the middle of the spread. =D

if the values were 1,1,2,3,7,100, the median would be 2.5 (half way between the two middle values) so 1,1,2 would be < 2.5 and get BL2, and 3,7,100 would be > 2.5 get Hitman. :)

Yeah, I had a brain fart there. I was thinking of the number of the values, and not of the number of entries :facepalm:

Not sure if you intended this, but it looks like we can still unsubscribe and try again to get above or below the median.

EDIT: The account deletion link on the profile page still works. Tested it and my account was deleted. :(
Atleast the game can no longer be played so people can't cheat. Oh well, I hope there's a record of my previous clicks. Otherwise I guess I just screwed myself while bug testing. >_<

I clicked on this topic to see how many people had made sexual position jokes. Still deciding whether I'm relieved or disappointed to see that nobody had.
