It was E.P.I.C
That's really the one word that comes to mind when I think about this event.
The crazy pace at which you worked all month, all the preparation that went into it and all the generous people who participated... it's SG in a nutshell.
So I'll leave another thank you to all, in addition to my thoughts because the whole thing really is precisely what has kept me coming to SG every day for the past 7 years. And I don't mean the giveaways. I mean the community and the willingness to share in moments together.
I think my only suggestion (if you ever feel like going crazy all out on an event like this again) is to have a consolation GA for people who can't solve the harder puzzles. I had a lot of fun on all puzzles and I guess I'm more used to puzzles on SG than a lot of first time participants who might have been drawn to your event but I can understand how our puzzle thing here might be an alien language for some (not to mention riddles and word puzzling can be problematic for people who are using translators because they don't understand English as well).
That's it really. You covered so many bases I didn't even think of, it boggles the mind.

The locks to each day were a good change from the typical ways private giveaways are linked from the discussion. Finding the hidden giveaways was the most fun part. Most of my discussion with other SG users was commenting about how we lacked the insight to solve the puzzles. That actually led me to make a mistake asking if I had found the giveaways you were hinting at. I am sorry for posting a link. Please forgive me.
I won A Game About Digging A Hole on day 19 and have beaten it twice since I won it. It was fun while it lasted, though I am sure I will never touch it again.

Thank you all for the event! It was a great deal of fun.
Believe it or not, this finally made me learn how to solve nonograms.

The whole of March was amazing. The generosity of the giveaways, and those little surprises as participants joined in, was sparkling. I really liked how the mini games varies, so there was usually something easier to do after a harder puzzle. The giveaways of games for those who participated but didn't win anything yet seems very elegant and thoughtful.

I've been in SG for a year, but I've never been very interested in puzzles, until one day when I was checking that tab and curiously started with one of your puzzles "Travelers to the train". From then on I became much more interested in puzzles and trains.
This event was magnificent and very entertaining. Although I started a few days late, every day I got home I was eager to complete the day's puzzle. Since I started, I've completed every puzzle, from the easiest to the most difficult, even if they were a little difficult and required a little more thought.
Desde ya muchas gracias Gus por el evento, fue realmente divertido. Estaré al tanto en el futuro si continuas con estos eventos espero que si. A si que felicidades por el gran evento que haz creado. Que tengas un buena semana muchas gracias.

Can't believe it's the final day already, this month just flew by!
I got so used to starting my days with checking this thread, it's a bit sad it's ending... Even though I haven't won anything this event (still have the last day 🤞), just the anticipation, daily surprises, finding secrets was an award in itself! 🙂
Just want to once again thank Gus for organizing such an awesome event and of course all the generous people who joined him in making March a better time for all of us! So thank you all, lovely people (I'll just copy the list from Gus so I don't miss anyone 😅):

I think your event was monumental! I know, you said to not, but I can only say: Thank you, and all the generous contributors, for an amazing month full of various giveaways and puzzles! It was a wild ride. <3 Hope that the winners will play and enjoy their new games. :)

Was a very entertaining event.
The nonograms were not my cup of tea, but that's okay.
You can't (and shouldn't try to) please everybody.
Some puzzles were bit obtuse, I enjoyed the bot/game related ones more, as they gave people an equal chance.
Regardless, thank you to all involved for an enjoyable daily escape from the dreaded RL 😉
Edit: The last clicker one is killing me though, trying to get all the upgrades even if it's not necessary ... 🤪

Mini games , Puzzles (not too absurd) , and giveaways made me visit this thread everyday except for few days when i was too tired or i saw too much nanograms. Thanks all contributor for the giveaways and Gus for organizing this. Wish to see more creative moths next.

This was the most entertaining event that I have ever experienced on this site.

It was a joke. I'm 50% of my way through level 98 of 100 on Passive Achievement sadly and don't have anything that could get me up to a billlion points at my disposal. I'm guessing another 2 hours or so to get it done the boring legitimate way.
I think there are a nonogram and a Secret Code element which I can't find (The trophy symbol for achievements at the top indicates that there are).
I'm just in it for the eventual rickroll which would send this off beautifully :)

I'm going the slow way and doing it like most people would have done back in the day.
Having reached 99% I took a little break and looked into the coding which makes the game possible (A Facebook you no less!).
If you enter a well known gaming code (Quite possibly used in the NES version of 'Contra') on your keyboard you'll unlock one of the two hidden achievements :)
I know the outcome of the hidden nonogram achievement but not where it is located (Yet).
As for the whole process of getting to 100% by cheating. I'd recommend either a gaming mouse with an autoclicker to sit over the box or to create a quick sandbox timed environment for the game to work within while you speed up the time it perceives.
Both are quicker than what I'm doing xD
EDIT: Turns out the Konami code will push you all the way to max in no time. I spoiled my 99% run by opening it :(

this was a great event. I liked the amount of people helping with it, I liked the daily puzzles and the fact it was a different one every day. I liked the difficulty level of the puzzles; most (not all) were doable with a little bit of thinking and in not that much time.
The number and quality of games were impressive and it was fun to search for hidden giveaways here and there.
For a next event I would like more of the same, maybe with fleshed out themes for specific days or weeks and I'd like the giveaways to last a day or maybe two longer so you can still join the fun if real life gets you occupied for a bit...

it was truly a MEGAEVENT, thanks Gus and all collaborators including the ones doing side GAs!
