Hey there :)
I tried to "hide" a way onto my WL in LV1 GAs. They got hundreds of clicks. Not one comment 8D .... T_T
So, because I like riddles as much as writing BS (:P) I want to try an easy (?) one on people, who want a chance of winning "Puzzle Agent 2" (appropriate). Perhaps I will use the forum more often for these kind of GAs ;)
Have fun!

It will end 05.09.18 10pm, btw.

Thank you :)
Is the puzzle too hard? Or the price too shitty? XD
Well, I dislike the "only finish a puzzle for the link" GAs :S I want the people to think; like an Escape Room :P (but this time I only used pictures and ONE hidden puzzle part)
What do you think, if I may ask? ^^

Agreed, Jigidi only acts as a boring and time-consuming barrier.
Already own the game, I'm only here to solve the puzzle.
I thought I had everything figured out, but I have yet to reach the solution.
I'd give more details about my reasoning for each part but that would spoil the puzzle for others.
At this point, I have to admit that I'm running out of ideas.

Oh D: Perhaps I did something wrong!? ^^'
Where lies the problem? (Without spoiling too much ;)
I can give another hint :D

I just figured it out!
I'd say the difficulty is just right; not too easy and not too hard.

Yay! :D Cool, thanks for the feedback ^^
I like riddles/puzzles, which are solvable, but you need to think about it ;)
"Journal 29" (a book) does that very well, imo!

If your question is about why not so many people come in here and try your puzzle, my bet would be it's because of the prize to be won. Puzzle Agent 2 has been bundled at least 6 times according to Isthereanydeal, and in the low tiers even, so everybody and their mother already has it, plus it's available for really cheap. It's not a huge incentive to "work" for, I'm guessing.
At least that's why I didn't try to solve. But I'm not much of an SG pzzle solver, which, as I think of it, is a bit weird, because my most favourite games are puzzle games. Heh, they never are so hard as SG puzzles are ;)
Good luck with your thread and all future endeavors :)

Thanks for the feedback! :)
Yeah, I didnt think about that XD But I wanted to have a nice little different kind of riddle in this forum, so perhaps some people will solve it even without wanting the game ^^ Next time maybe a nicer GA will attract more people to make mad :P
And: Puzzle is not equal Puzzle ;) There are so many sub-genres, so I understand your position :)

I loved this game. I played through the entire game in a day. I've always been a fan of telltale and the first game was excellent also.

I... think I understand most of it, although I've never been that skilled at the puzzles over here since I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Do I put it in the URL after https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ and if I'm right it sends me? Or am I missing something?

That cloud picture though...

I didnt get the letters and numbers thing at first either XD But you are on the right path ;)
Hint: There is a sign around the world everyone knows. Especially asians 8D

Yeah sorry man, the cloud picture is not clicking with me, and I'd rather not just guess every possible letter and number in that part to find the correct one.

The pic says to look for something. And you need two fingers for the sign ;)
Dont worry, just as in other Puzzle Games, I will give hints, if someone is stuck, as long as they are trying ^^

Hmm well I guess I probably had the right answer for the clouds after all, which begs the question, what do I have wrong...
Pictures 1 and 3 seem obvious enough, picture 4 seems like it could only be one of two things, and picture 5 looks to be pretty obvious as well. That's why I had been thinking I had the cloud one wrong.

Mhhh... :/
You are right about the Map (50%/50%)
The "Stone" pic has three different hints in it :P
I thought the "Man" pic would be the hardest XD
Dont forget that one pic is NOT part of the "code" itself ;)

A good Layton-esque-ish puzzle game (and idk, it feels easy for me). The first one I've enjoyed from Telltale.

Here's a puzzling bump.

Thanks for the bumb and feedback :)
Yeah, I thought the games were too easy as well (and shouldnt be split up, because its ONE story! O_o), but sadly there are only a few games like these around all the HOGs and Majongs ^^'

Ich bin zu blöd dafür (und zu müde obendrein).

Bei den Wolken steh ich auf dem Schlauch.
Und selbst mit der Lösung weiß ich nicht was groß und was klein.

Und zu deinem "keine Kommentare bekommen bei Public GA's". Das wird doch nicht daran liegen das 90% den GA's beitreten ohne die Beschreibung je zu Gesicht zu bekommen....

Ps.: Ich habe das Spiel und werde natürlich keine riesen Zeit investieren um es zu lösen.
Würde ich aber auch bei nem Game das ich nicht habe nicht machen. Meistens ist mir meine Zeit schlicht zu kostbar.

Groß oder Klein wird ja mit angegeben :P
Ja, ich weiß, dass wenige lesen, daher ja der Weg auf meine WL, sollte man passend kommentieren; der Leser hat den gesamten BS durchgehalten XD Aber von 800 nicht EINER, der es liest? Wow... Aber so kann man auch aussortieren ^^
PS: Zeit IST kostbar. Aber jeder hat andere Beschäftigungen, die ihm die Zeit wert ist. Ich zb könnte Stunden an solchen Rätsel knobeln und es nicht als Zeitverschwendung sehen. Andere spielen in WoW einen Raid, wo ich dann wiederum deine Einstellung fröne ;)

Ich hab nicht erkennen können ob z.B. ein X groß oder klein ist ... oder ein O.
Von 800 nicht einer ist hart aber für sg gibt es so viele Scripts die das joinen, ohne die Beschreibung je zu Gesicht zu bekommen, ermöglichen + die Autojoiner etc., deshalb wundert es mich nicht das nicht viel kam.
Egal wann ich nen Event machte war ich, mindestens teilweise, enttäuscht.
Mein cakeday Event war noch das Beste und trotzdem haben es dort gut 30 Leute auf meine BL geschafft weil sie die Puzzels machten, sich teilweise noch drüber beschwerten, aber weder nen Danke noch nen Happy cake day kannten UND scheiß Statistiken hatten. Ebenso betrogen einige ( die Puzzelzeiten kann man ganz leicht manipulieren wie ich vor sehr kurzem gelernt habe... :o( -und da sind mir viele Puzzels eingefallen bei denen Leute 1/4 meiner Zeit brauchten und ich mich immer fragte wie die das immer hinbekommen -sind meistens die gleichen Leute...- ).
Kurz um... für viele Leute ist die Mühe die man sich beim erstellen macht verschwendete Zeit und nur für ein paar wenige lohnt sich der Aufwand den man damit hat.

Natürlich hat jeder andere Prioritäten die er setzt und ich bin einer von ner Masse. Es muß nicht alles "ideal" für mich sein.
Manchmal nehme ich mir mehr Zeit, manchmal weniger. Durch nahezu durchgehende Schmerzen und Blutmangel (= unter anderem Unterversorgung des Gehirns mit Sauerstoff = Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten, Erinnerungsschwierigkeiten etc.) bin ich schlicht auch nicht so leistungsfähig wie ich es gerne möchte und Sachen zu lösen dauert einfach länger als früher (oder wenn es mir besser geht als das letzte Jahr).
Außerdem bin ich ziemlich schnell frustriert wenn die Leute bei ihren Rätseln Google einbauen und man quasi nur lange genug rumsuchen muß um eine Lösung zu finden -dazu muß man meiner Meinung nach nichts können-.
Das war bei deinem Rätsel nicht der Fall und daher nicht direkt frustrierend.

Ich hab aber nicht gesehen wie ich das lösen könnte und nach ner Stunde dann aufgegeben BEVOR ich negative Gefühle (Frustration) habe.
Und ich habe die eingesparte Zeit dann anderweitig eingesetzt.

Manchmal beisse ich mich an Rätseln fest und manchmal bin ich das komplette Gegenteil und denke mir "macht euern Scheiss doch alleine" :-D
Letzteres besonders wenn ich auf den ersten Blick direkt erkenne das derjenige irgend ein Studierender ist oder sein Abi macht und die ganze Sache reine Formelabfragerei bedeutet -da bekomm ich das Kotzen und dann lasse ich es lieber direkt bleiben-.
Das ist durchaus sehr schwankend, je nach meiner körperlichen Verfassung und meinem Gemütszustand.

WoW war nie meins und irgendwas gespielt habe ich das letzte Mal vor ca. 2 Wochen. Ist zur Zeit nicht prickelnd von der Gesunheit/Krankheit her

Um das aber ganz klar zu sagen damit meine Worte nicht falsch ankommen können, Rätsel wie deines gehören für mich zu den besseren. Hab also grundsätzlich nichts negatives damit verbunden auch wenn meine Worte vielleicht "hart" rüber kamen.
Falls ja, sorry.

I think the only one I don't get is the treasure hunting map.
Would you give more hints or solution since the giveaway's ended?

Of course ^^ It was never intended to be too hard; I am sorry :S
The Map Pic was the only one, where you had to guess upper or lower case; but because its the only one, its okay, imo :P
Its as easy as you may think: x = The Treasure (Game) is hidden underneath the "x". Its a small x though ;)
For the others, from easy to hard, imo:
Water N = n (yeah XD)
Clouds = v (look for the "small victories". A victory sign is a v)
Man = Q (The description of the pic says something about a big cue :P)
One Stone = 2 (Several hints: The order hint is 2. ONE stONE. And "Two birds with one stone")
The "Out of order" was just the hint to look for the correct order and "Hint hint hint" is popping up as a hint)
Did you get all the others? :) What do you think: Should I do another Puzzle like this, but for a better game or is it too much work for people? XD

Ah. Yep. The One Stone one was the one I didn't get.
I assumed it was either o, O or 1. I didn't really see 2 in it, guess that's on me though. I figured out everything else including the order, at least.

Actually, I was wrong with "one stone".
It was unexpected and not quite easy to someone not familiar with English idioms. (or just me. XD)
I like this kind of puzzle, though. Please do more. ^O^
