I'm posting today and in the next Fridays a series of private giveaways for forum members. Your SteamGifts account must be at least 3 weeks old and you can enter only one of the giveaways of the list.

There will be more rounds but the special rule applies to all giveaways linked in the thread, you can't enter in one of the giveaways of the first round and later enter again.

You will not know what giveaways will be created and how long this event will last. You can try to guess, though. I don't want set my Steam inventory privacy to private, but you can't be sure all the giveaways will be from the Steam store, or if I buy the game after the giveaway has been closed, or if the giveaway is always from me, or so...

You will have to pick your giveaway wisely, considering what you can win and how many chances you have to win.

This special rule was approved by Support. If you ignore the rule and enter multiple giveaways and win one, I'll request a new winner.

All rounds will start, indicatively, Friday, and end Monday, 19:00 CEST (17:00 GMT, it's the time when the Steam store front page gets updated with the new deals). They can be private giveaways or puzzle giveaways (not hard puzzles, presumably).

Everyone is welcome to enter my giveaways, just make sure you follow the rules.

--- Round 1 (10 April - 14 April) --

Total participants: 760 (69 invalid)
Total entries: 923 instead of 760 (163 invalid)

They are all quality games. That is critically acclaimed games or games I enjoyed. And I'm going on with this.


--- Round 2 (18 April - 21 April) --

Total participants: 1021 (102 invalid), 305 (round 2 only, 37 invalid)
Total entries: 1214 (193 invalid)

More good games here. Sorry, I was forced not to use direct links, due to an unwanted number of invalid entries. I feel like I forgot something but let's start...


--- Round 3 (25 April - 28 April) --

Total participants: 1117 (106 invalid)
Total entries: 1316 (199 invalid)

They are hungry and want to eat you. Do you hear them coming? You should, they are not sweet-smelling. I don't know how can they always attack by surprise so easily in the movies and so...

I hope you aren't disappointed for the number of giveaways, there is no fixed number for that.

There was actually a mistake/inaccuracy in Q1, step two, now fixed. It was depending on your approach, you could still get it right at the first attempt.

Please, remember these aren't puzzles, all the questions are easy. They are needed only to stop invalid entries.

Edit: Edited again for another mistake/inaccuracy of the same kind.

It seems to still not be clear enough what you are asking for. I have tried my best to understand what you mean by the question, and I have entered in a bunch of different numbers but I am still getting the wrong answer.

EDIT I solved it but I still do not understand how you are getting that answer from the question.

Please note, total number of invalid entries and participants can be influenced by the number of suspended users, as they are invisible in the giveaway entry list while they are suspended. So you can't use any stats from the round 1 to figure out what I requested related to round 2. Just use the numbers I provide in the quiz and in the thread related to round 2, they are up to date and all what you need to get the right answer without brute-forcing.

Current stats:

  • The Walking Dead (22 entries, 3 invalid)
  • The Walking Dead - Season 2 (50 entries, 1 invalid)

I still don't understand the question. I've tried all the numbers given for the round two section and none of them work. The numbers in the thread and question are different, so unless I'm missing something very obvious it's not making any sense to me.

Edit: I got the answer, don't understand exactly how, but kinda do.

The current round has 2 giveaways, 72 new entries, 4 invalid entries, 72 participants, 4 invalid participants. How many participants have entered both the two giveaways? Do you now understand the question?

I'm having the same problem, I just gave up. I tried every number I could think of, I'll probably feel like an idiot when I find out what the answer was but I just don't see how to figure it out.

but... but... I gave away the answer...

If in this round we have 2 giveaways, 72 (4 invalid) entries and 72 (4) participants, how many participants are invalid because they have entered in a previous round? And, how many participants are invalid because have entered in more than one giveaway belonging to the same round 3?

Got it, maybe the wording of the question is wrong or I'm misunderstanding the question. Was it meant to be a trick question? Thanks for your help and thanks again for these awesome giveaways.

Hmm, not really... It's just one question where you can't copy & paste, unlike the rest of the questions. Once you solved the quiz, if you have any suggestions feel free to post a comment in the giveaway... Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

The Walking Dead Season 2 is so popular so I pass. I'll wait for round 4. Thank you, Bruto! :)

Thanks for the giveaways, I like this format. I hope more people will do this type of giveaway, it seems like it would give the people with bad luck, like myself, a chance to win something :)

I'm not sure how to help, just make sure you check each game, the answer isn't obvious but if you work your way from the bottom you should find the answer fairly easily.

This is so fascinating, i love your stats.

As of round 3, i haven't entered any giveaway due to having all the games. Hoping there's a round 4 next week!

Giveaways open for another 1 day.

Current stats:

  • The Walking Dead (30 entries, 4 invalid)
  • The Walking Dead - Season 2 (60 entries, 2 invalid)

90 participants, 6 invalid. My goal was 0 invalid, but at least nobody has entered in both the giveaways so far. Maybe if I did a round with only one single giveaway they will realize how this works.

I don't really understand Q1. How do you work it out? Tried a lot of numbers and no luck :(

Comment has been collapsed.

You have the requirements to enter a giveaway (same as many but not all who complain about Q1) and I'm sorry that question gives you some troubles. In the thread and in the quiz you have the two numbers you need to compute the right answer. Round 3 stats and round 2 stats are similar too. Also, you can check the rest of the comments related to stats or invalid entries, they can be helpful.

I predict you'll giveaway something awesome in Round 4 and it will bring back the simpletons that can't read the rules properly. Just imagine how much invalid entries you'll get if you giveaway something like Skyrim: Legendary Edition.

Now, I would have really liked a chance for TWD-S2 but absolutely no regrets about my choice (AC2). Thanks for all the giveaways!

I had a lack of time Yesterday, sorry for not posting anything.

This second edition is (early?) over. Probably it will make possible to do this again (if Support approves) within a shorter time. Some (minor) changes are required too.

Thanks to everyone for participating, in any way you did.

Curious how many rerolls you needed... :) Wanting to give away a Fortix 4 in DeltaBladeX's fortix topic, for people who have finished Fortix 1 or 2... :)

Comment has been collapsed.

If I put a Fortix giveaway in the round 1, everything would have gone differently, I think.

I was a bit unlucky with the rerolls this time, how many actually were the requests for a new winner don't help you more than the raw numbers and how I got them, I presume. Anyway, Shadowgrounds Survivor 7 requests (I still have to thank Support for the patience), Trine, Skyrim and The Walking Dead 1 only.

Edit: Ah, yes Fortix 4....

I really regret entering Skyrim instead of waiting. I would of loved the chance to get The Walking Dead. But, thanks for the awesome giveaways.

I had no idea something like this was happening T_T . Seems like I missed some really interesting stuff.

All of this traveling is making me miss all such giveaways in the forum. Need to find a way to lurk the forums between work hours ....Hmmmm....
