Hey there everyone!

We over at Evil Puzzles -Я- Us are hosting a little treasure hunt of games. Each one will have a puzzle, and the games will get better as you go on. Now, none of us are rich, so we can't afford to do anything too big, but we hope you enjoy it.

4 of us participated in making the puzzles and giveaways for this. myself, teurmug, Fever and Chiasm.

We will also be using this to recruit new members, so if you get to the end, let us know if you would like an invite and we'll review everything. If you'd rather do it a quicker way without giveaways because you don't want games for some reason, we have a recruitment puzzle on our group page linked above.

There is no contribution value, and the puzzles will go until the morning of March 11 EST.

Standard rules apply, no cheating, leaking, sharing. You know the drill.

If you finish a puzzle or are enjoying it, we would appreciate a bump to get more people to enjoy it also.

If you are stuck on something, post on the giveaway page that you found that puzzle on. The group will discuss it if people are stuck on the same questions, and potentially give hints, but we aren't planning on it as the puzzles contain hints already.

If you are planning on applying to join, we are looking for active members who enjoy making and doing puzzles. The goal of the group is not to solve puzzles together, but to make them together, test out new question ideas on other members, and share forum posts that contain a puzzle you enjoyed or think has a good prize. There are no requirements about giving away games to fellow group members, though we would of course be appreciative of that.

If you have any questions about the group, just ask and we will gladly answer them.


Your first step is below. Good luck.

puzzle 1
puzzle 2
puzzle 3
puzzle 4

any additional hints will be put on the giveaway page that leads to the puzzle the hint is for

quiz 6 has additional hints up due to mistakes

Let us know if you like or dislike a puzzle on the giveaway it leads to. We would appreciate it, and the puzzles are made by the person hosting the giveaway it leads to.

Questions 1 and 5 on the book puzzle are annoying.

Have you seen the hints already? I mean, the hint for Q1 isn't very helpful, but the one for Q5 is pretty transparent.

And of course if you have any questions, you may leave them in the giveaway that leads to puzzle.

I looked for about every synonym for that word. Nada :(

You've most certainly seen the right synonym. The book's name is derived from it, so it's not the exact word.

What is the format for Q1 of the 6th quiz. I know how to do the operation but there are tons of (correct) ways to actually write the answer since a lot of the orders don't matter.

Well, there's a few ways you can get a chance at an invite. It does need to be approved by the three admins, but that shouldn't be too difficult. The group quiz that you had a problem with will lead you to a way, finishing all of the puzzles in here, (there are quite a few) or, if you make a puzzle feel free to send it to me/teurmug/fever and we will check it out. We'd love to see you get to the point of an invite, any way you can :D

There needs to be a tutorial on how to figure out the different kinds of puzzles on steamgifts. Past answering straight questions or riddles or math I never get it.

I simply cannot figure out the formatting on puzzle six. I wish it was switched around with #7, that sounds like more my cup of tea.

the format is the one on the giveaway description, solve that one instead of the one in the puzzle for the right order

Oh, I did. The questions I have about formatting are whether there are spaces, or parentheses, or such. Tried a number of options but that's incredibly tedious.

It's more like a common sense thingy, So i would recommend use your common sense instead of Google.
