Yeah, wow... it was all only 404's a few hours ago.
I thought I would try doing something different for a puzzle, but now everyone thinks I am just being mean to them. I guess I will have to stick to only using methods others have done before.
Thanks to those being good sports!

I hope you aren't mad about my earlier "funny" (I think I'm like always the only person who finds their own bad jokes funny) comment. Just do puzzles the way you want to do them and if they are too difficult for most people, then that's ok. You can always give hints if you want more entries. But it's your style, do puzzles your way, that's really ok! 😎👍

Aw, thank you! This is my first ever puzzle on here, so I was already nervous, ha! Of course I am ready to give hints if/when needed. 😊

I haven't been able to solve it yet, so I can't really comment on the puzzle itself. But a great tip is have someone you know test the puzzle. A lot of times you might think it's obvious when it isn't to others. It's hard to determine this on your own, which is why having a friend or someone try it out. I've had the issue of thinking a puzzle I made was obvious, yet friends playtesting it struggled with it :')
To be clear, this isn't meant as any kind of hate or criticism, as again, I haven't even solved it yet. Just trying to be helpful ^^

Playtesting is of course a great idea!
It's been solved in another Steam-related community with no issue, but they are used to puzzles exactly like this one.

Doing something different is fine, but not giving an adequate hint to what your alluding to is the problem. Just a bunch of numbers leads to too many possibilities, a problem I see often with puzzles. There's very little information to go on or to try something with. Is the comment on the GA from someone that solved it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes! There are actually two solvers at the moment of my typing this. There is also a hint in my original post. 👀
Kal, you should know better than most that I understand puzzle frustrations! 🤣 People will get there, and I will progressively provide hints for those struggling.

Hmm, I found the code to the giveaway, but not from OP. When I try to enter the correct password (I think so), it just rickrolls me.

hmm.. are we looking for numbers or letters or a combination?

Hah! I found a 404 without a rickroll!
I suppose that just means I'm really off track. Bump, and happy almost birthday!

Just a trick that might help people in the future.

by adding a + it won't redirect you to the target link.

Hmm ... it's been over 24 hours and there is still a single entry. I'm beginning to think something got lost in translation somewhere along the way.

At least 4 solvers at the time of my typing this. Seems like people just need to start thinking differently. :)

Bump, for being confused! I ended up in a lot of stange places trying to solve this. Even ended up in some random spreadsheets, that looked like they should be private. But could not find the cake, nor the giveaway. 😄
