Want to giveaway Mystery Mayhem Bundle from Fanatical

Open
neonteaowo

I want to buy them to giveaway the Random games I got. but it says 'Activates in Japan' (I just moved in as a student last month)
My question is : Is it only region restricted for Japan or can other country people activate them as well?

Maybe you could add the name of the game or even the subid if you know it.
Hard to answer that question with so little information.

I didnt buy the bundle yet, I can still change the location. Been thinking which location would be the best...

If it says so, then it only activates in Japan. Maybe you could update your location before purchasing from a bundle.

Any suggestions for location? I have no idea about the majority of SG are from. should i go for US?

Could be, yet Canada, the UK, and most EU countries can be just as good as they are unlikely to be excluded by Fanatical's region-lock..

On the Fanatical store, next to 'Activates in Japan' there is a button 'View all'. This allows you to choose other countries and see if they will activate in those countries. The surest way to check is to go through every country but this is very time-consuming.

You can also look at posts like this one - https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/5YO64/fanatical-mystery-mayhem-bundle-use-omen10-for-a-10-discount
Where people list region locks that they discover e.g. Patch Quest {sub/803071} cannot be redeemed in China.

As another user mentioned, writing the specific game names and/or subid will mean people can help you more with this

that "Activates in ...." just confirms it works for your location, AFAIK it doesn't region block anything. For me it simply shows "Activates in Germany" as I have VPN active. Without VPN it switches back to my country.
But yes, click on View All and you can go through the countries manually. Or best case scenario ask Fanatical customer support if those restrictions apply to all games you will receive

Also check out this thread - https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/5YO64/fanatical-mystery-mayhem-bundle-use-omen10-for-a-10-discount - You can firstly see what games are in the mystery bundle + you can ask and check there any region locks... to be honest it only looks like one game is region locked. sensualshakti most likely knows these bundles in and out so you can go ask in the thread.
