Hey Steamgifts users! This weekend I'm going to create my first series of puzzle giveaways for Fallout 3 GOTY (x2), and Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition.

I'd like YOUR help to decide what kind of form the puzzles will take. Here are some of my current thoughts:

  • An It's Too Hard puzzle where as you answer questions, you may have to go back to previous questions that will give you new information
  • A choose-your-own-adventure style puzzle that will lead to different giveaways depending on what answers you choose
  • I'm toying around with possibly having multiple puzzle layers
  • I'm thinking about having a CV of $100.00 requirement since I want to give back to those who give back

What do YOU think?

I like the second one, and think $50 is plenty high.

I like how everyone is choosing right under how much CV they have.

It wouldn't be Steamgifts if people didn't do that... o_O

Who wants to see giveaways for games they want that they can't join anyway?!?

I vote for an itstoohard puzzle with at least $30.01 CV (To avoid the "just bundle" contributors)

If you want to be a real ass, you can make it 10,000.

High CV is just annoying.

A choose-your own adventure style puzzle would be awesome! I've never seen anything like it done on this site.
Would you allow people to enter multiple giveaways if they complete all of the branching paths, or would you require us to choose a single one?

100$ CV is fine with me, though it'd be nice if it was a bit lower. That way more folks could have a go at it. Perhaps you could make one with 50$, and one with 100$.

If you could complete all the branching paths, I think you'd earn the right to enter all the giveaways :)

Oh, okay! Cool beans. That'd give everyone more of an incentive to play through all paths. Though I'd do so regardless of whether or not I could win more games, 'cause I love choose your own adventure type stuff. ^-^

The choose your own adventure type puzzle sounds like a good idea.

"A choose-your-own-adventure style puzzle that will lead to different giveaways depending on what answers you choose"

That sounds like all sorts of fun, especially if its a humorous or engaging adventure :3 Just all sorts of fun, I'd think.

Could only enter if its the 30.01 CV though : (

A choose-your-own-adventure puzzle sounds great, kinda reminds me of the goosebumps books

nr. 2 is the best. I would even complete it if I couldn't enter it :D

Great games! I would say the 2nd option, only there are only 2 types of possible endings I would figure. So maybe not the best option.

CV is something you can always put in. In your case I would probably make 2 different FO3 GOTY GA's with each having different CV value.

There are also others ways of hiding it. One is in the sourcecode of text like this: [][]()(http://steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX)

Another one that I once did was hiding GA link in plain view in picture, like this (see lower left corner).

Other option, that is used more frequently here, is using this: [']() or [.](), which is sometimes pretty hard to spot in a sentence: I[']()ve just tried to give you some examples[.]()

Anyway, good luck with it and thanks in advance (although I already own them both hehe)!

I'd say the 2nd option is the most fun, and rewarding without causing brain meltdowns.
I'm fine with the requirements...easy to guess why.
