Decided to make a pretty simple puzzle thing. You just have to complete a jigidi and then a nonogram. The jigidi is up first. It is a 150 piece jigidi. Thereafter, you should get a link to the nonogram, which hopefully shouldn't be too hard.

It is a 15x15 nonogram. I haven't actually done it myself yet lol, but it didn't look too bad. We shall see however :P

The nonogram will then give you a link to begin the train. It is a 5 game train consisting of:

• Bound By Blades
• The Forest Quartet
• POSTAL 2
• Impossible Creatures Steam Edition
• Far: Lone Sails

Since that is all, time for a fun fact. This is something I had found some time back, but I recently saw something about it again, so here's the down low. Our minds are incredibly skilled at recognizing patterns, and we rely heavily on the context of the sentence and the positioning of the first and last letters of words to make sense of scrambled text. As long as those letters stay in their correct spots, our brains can fill in the blanks and understand the words without much trouble. This phenomenon is called "typoglycemia." For example, "Yuo may notiecd taht desptie teh mdidle lteters bieng cmoepltey out of odrer, yuo can raed tihs snetecne wiohtut mcuh dfifcltuy." Pretty cool right?

It is level 3 and ends 23 April, end of day.

SOLUTION

I separated the paragraphs distinctly in four. This was because you needed to get four words. These four words are made from the letters in the text of each paragraph that are either: bold, italics, strikethrough, or hidden. I specifically made a combination of 20 letters and did 5 of each in random order to make you think that there was 4 giveaways. But looking at the letters, in order, in each paragraph, we get:

1. lniks
2. in
3. inspcet
4. srcoue

Combining these, we get the sentence, “lniks in inspcet srcoue.” Using the fun fact of typoglycemia we can see that the sentence should say, “links in inspect source.” To inspect source you can click Ctrl + U. In inspect source you search the term, “giveaway,” and the giveaway for Alt-Frequencies will show up. This is a shortcut to the train as it then leads to Bound By Blades. So this was a little shortcut baked in with an additional prize.

I also hid two giveaways for Piczle Adventure in the links of both the nonogram and the jigidi. I would type out what they say, but it is quite clear in the links of each where they are hidden (right at the end). Now obviously not everyone is going to think to look there. So… I made 3 sentences related to puzzles in the jigidi where the U, R, and L are boldened and italicised. Hence, giving URL. I hoped this was enough of an indication to look at the url. Then just made another link in the nonogram cause why wouldn’t you look in that url as well right?

Basically meaning all you really needed to do to access all giveaways was finish the jigida and solve the riddle in the main discussion. While I enjoy nonograms, I know others do not, so I made it doable without using the nono. But you had to be willing to try everything else first in order to see that.
