Not really. If you looked at the earlier comments/posts, you'd know that you get the giveaway code when you solve the puzzle correctly. You should remove it nonetheless.

damn this is hard. and i know my binaries... probably is really easy and i'm looking at it wrong.congrats on a challenging puzzle anyways!

I can tell you that it's not on your list of games.

You'll get a giveaway code (the 5 characters) that leads to a private giveaway when you have solved the puzzle. No solvers so far.

The punctuation in the message is encoded like all the other characters?

Added third hint since there hasn't been any solvers so far.

6 days more, we can do it

There's no bruteforcing or guessing required. When solved correctly, you get the giveaway code.

Found it. By golly, that was sneaky, but it makes sense, based on what you had to do to get the red herring values.

The starting clue decodes to total gibberish. At least, some of it does.

Looks like this was a lot harder than I thought. Only 1 solver so far.

Not as easy as it seems but it's still quite easy. No contributions required. Here, have a timer.
Hint #1: Having some knowledge about binary could prove useful.
Hint #2: You only need to decode it once.
Hint #3: What you need is hidden in plain sight.
Hint #4: Decoding is the last step.
The solution is pretty simple. The binary code that gave the giveaway code was hidden in the LSBs of the original binary.
Here's the original binary in a clearer format:
01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101101
01101100 00100001 01100011 01100100 00100001 01110101 01101111 01110100
01100000 01101101 00100000 01100110 01101001 01100011 01100011 01100101
01110010 01101001 01110011 01101000 00100001 00100000 01001000 00100000
01110100 01101001 01101000 01101111 01101010 00100000 01110010 01101111
When all but the LSBs are removed, you're left with this binary:
00110111 01101110 01001111 01101000 01010001
And when you decode it, you get the giveaway code which leads to this giveaway.
