Good day, Steamgifts lurkers. It's just me again. Some of you might know me already, some of you might not. Simply put, I'm a puzzle addict, and I have made some puzzles on Steamgifts in the past. Today I come here with some ideas for a puzzle event. I call it "Everything You Can Do with Images". Yes, it is a puzzle event revolving around the theme of image puzzle. Read below for more information.


What is your aims?

  • To encourage people, especially newbies, to take part in puzzling on Steamgifts, without having to force them to read Zelgh's guide to puzzle in a boring way.

  • To have some fun in Christmas time.

  • ???


    How does it work?

  • It will be an itstoohard page with at least 10 image-related puzzles.

  • The puzzles refer to different methods mentioned in Zelgh's guide to puzzle, as well as some more methods by other puzzle makers and myself.

  • Each image will provide link to one private puzzle. So in total there will be at least 10 giveaways for the individual images.

  • The overall puzzle will be a group puzzle, where everyone joins to solve it together.

  • The answer of each question will serve as hint for the image in that particular question.

  • There will be one or a few giveaway for the overall puzzle to encourage people to solve it, instead of keeping the answers for themselves.

  • Well, of course there will be a hidden giveaway for exceptional people who can find it. There will be no hints nor indicators for this giveaway, as only the best of the best are worthy to redeem it.


    So why do you post this here?

    It is actually a simple and embarrassing reason: I am out of money, and have only a couple of bundled keys left, so I cannot host this big event myself. That why now I am looking for donations for the prizes of the event.


    How can I help?

  • You can help by giving new ideas for puzzles, aside from what Zelgh has mentioned.

  • Or you can help my making private giveaways as prizes and send me the link after that. All giveaway should end on 00:00, December 25th, 2014 (Christmas Eve). Since the giveaways are created by you, all CV is yours to keep.

  • If you are interested in supporting this event and have some questions to ask, add me on Steam.


    What kind of donations are you looking for?

  • For individual image puzzles: bundled games, or better yet, non-bundled games, if you are so generous.

  • For the overall (group) puzzle: a cheap non-bundled game.

  • For the hidden giveaway: a non-bundled game (Or two? Or three?), preferably something on the Steamgifts' Wishlist top 20.


    What rules are there?

  • I myself are forbidden to enter any giveaways created.

  • How the prizes are distributed over the individual puzzles will be decided by me.

  • All giveaway links will be kept confidential and will not be shared among donors.

  • No extra hints for the individual puzzles or the hidden giveaway will be provided, except the hints in the form of the answers for the overall puzzle.

  • CV will be set to $0.00 as this is an event aiming to encourage newbies to actively take part in Steamgifts activities.


    TLDR

    I am out of money when trying to make a Christmas puzzle event. Donation or help required. Add me!

I've got some leftover bundle keys I could throw in. I just did a puzzle, and it was fun, although I didn't enter any of the giveaways.
