[ PUZZLE ] What is That Game? S O L U T I O N!

Closed

Hello,

My second puzzle. First one was too hard so this one be much more easier!

There are three stages. First one is here. You have to find link code somewhere on this picture made by Leonid Afremov. I added 8 chars. They are in proper order (from left to right) so brute force isn't needed. If you find them you'll get link to the main stage.

Puzzle ends at Sunday, 3rd of March

What's the prize? Game about da da da da da da da da da, Batman!

At this moment there are 9 solvers and 36 players who reach main stage.

HINTS

No. 1 - I see lots of you have case sensitive problem. Let's make it clear - there are 3 upper case, 3 lower case and 2 digits. I hope that helps.

No. 2 - First letter is the same (lower/upper) case as 6th. Digits are on places 7th and 8th.

No. 3 - Because there are many players who solved quiz it is the last hint. The most comments here are about problems with Q4. It is a game about smoking cigars, eating bananas, drinking cofee and cocoa for free!

Bonus hint - Q3: just think what this guy is famous for.

SOLUTION

Congrats to hejt3r for winning a giveaway!

Now solution. Chars from image SwnfUV31. That is itstoohard.com code so we got http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/SwnfUV31.

Answers to the questions are:

Q1 - Duke Nukem

Q2 - Football Manager

Q3 - Leisure Suit Larry

Q4 - Tropico

Q5 - Mirror's Edge

Q6 - Plants vs. Zombies

Q7 - Wheelman

Then you get this link. There are OVeWB letters so it is http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/OVeWB.

Thank you for entering this puzzle and see you in the next one! :)

Oh, I stepped back and managed to get two of them. Man, this is really out there. :P

[edit: make that 3. I thought Q6 was obvious before but missed a character in the title and thus got it wrong]

I immediately found it with the hint, but seriously what is the link between the image and the game ?
I guess i'll never find 5, 6 and 7 now.

I would call it "overal look". Picture looks similiar to the game (or screens), especially if you zoomed it.

I was guessing something else at first, then suddenly I saw a related name on the frontpage a while ago and it hit me :p and got it right away. This was before the latest hint too xD

I'm stuck on #3, not sure who he may looks like. And #6 seems a bit generic for me, trying different possible games but still not there yet :/

aaand I'm back from the "research", lol I was banging my face on the keyboard with laughter. That was the last question for me in that stage, and it was worth it, that sudden realization of the similarities at the end, thanks for the fun and challenging puzzle.

Is there any small hint for the final stage in term of upper/lower case again or ordering of chars, I'm having a tough time bruteforcing 120 possible permutations of each possible upper/lower/digit combination lol >_<

loczek187

Hmm.. there is only one lower case letter. Now you have only max 10 combinations :)

For #2, there's a new version annually to match the year (but of course the number won't be included in the answer as per the guidelines); for #5, it's about the look of the girl, not so much the guns; for #6, it has nothing to do with simulations. Hope that helps. :)

I'm completely stumped on #3. Could you possibly give me a tiny hint for that? :D

Thanks. :) I was getting stuck on modern games involving scandal like GTA, and I knew those were a stretch. :P I'm still not sure I'm even familiar with it, but the nudge is helpful. :)

How about genres? #5 is based on a 3D platformer, #6 is based on a tower-defense-type game. Good luck! :)

Looks like found the correct order to the puzzle. Can I ask if one question can have more than one answer and how did formatted answer? Did you took them from wikipedia, steam or wrote your own way?

loczek187

I took them mostly from single page about games and wikipedia (Q3). There are official titles, without numbers. Only one answer is correct, besides Q6 - 2 answers.
