The "more" link at the second GA (Dark Arcana: The Carnival) page leads not to the next GA but to Steam page instead.

Well thanks for sharing..
Seems you made it a bit of a puzzle....man i am in trouble..
Puzzles for me are about as fun as a fat women at a topless bar.
Though not so much because i dislike them,but more like i am just no good at them for the most part lol

Can't blame ya. I think I've made some rookie mistakes here:
- One part of it may be too difficult for people to figure out;
- I've set incremental level restriction which is probably too high (and totally unnecessary!);
- The time limit is way too short, should've made it 2-3 weeks;
- I totally forgot that currently I'm only allowed a small amount of giveaways, so I had to cut out the final part (with better award) into a new giveaway some time after this one ends.
Please pardon the mistakes as this is my first time doing this...
BTW you've already owned them all anyway, so I've put you into my whitelist along with those who have tried.

At least you've tried to do it. No one should fault you for that. I don't, that is for sure.:)

I was wondering if i did but i could not figure it out to check and since it is invite i could not check your profile.I suspected i might but had no way of knowing unless i cracked it lol.
I love puzzles and such they just do not love me...so it not for lack of trying so much as i even struggled with Portal 2 though and admit i needed some help a few times.
LYNE is even worse for me lol i still wanted to say thanks for sharing regardless as i love HOG games,just do not always have the coin to pick up the bundles so i check any train about HOG's lol

There are so many HOG nowadays. Lately I've been having fun with the ones published by Artifex Mundi. HOG
is Hidden Object Games, games in which you have to find hidden objects in various scenes, supplemented with
a back story and some clever puzzle mechanics. Mystery Case Files series was probably the first to popularize
hidden object games. I really love it when I can play casually and let my
train of thoughts wander along with the story and the beautiful scenes. I hope those with eagle eyes and the spirit of a detective
inside them will find this simple giveaway enjoyable:

Ends in 3 days.
Solvers:
Aaand it's a wrap!
This puzzle train was originally inspired by this experiment from Starlynk. It was a small experiment to gauge how many people actually read the descriptions on a giveaway page. Starlynk made a series of public giveaways with hidden links to a private giveaway of the same game.
I wanted to go beyond that with my very own small experiment. I wanted to see, out of those who like playing HOGs, how many would spot something odd in the giveaway description and actually investigate it. Just like what we do in HOGs, right? NOPE. I soon realized that the time limit was way too short for someone to actually realize that this is a hidden puzzle. Nobody told them to look for something so they won't be looking. Hence this thread was made, and as consequence I have skewed my own experiment x'D
Participants of each GAs:
*By non-entry I mean those who follow along the puzzle train but not entering because game is already owned.
The first one to reach GA2 is Adilx05, 33 people before him missed the URL link.
Thank you all who participated. I had so much fun creating this, so I've planned a longer, harder, and better puzzle train (I've learnt a few things here ^^v )
