Puzzle level guide

Level 1 - simple puzzle that even newbies can solve with a little time and logical thinking. These will include between 1-2 cryptograms, sometimes mixed in the same question. puzzles of this level will have up to 3 questions and might have you hunt for a basic answer such as game names. Puzzles of this level will have cheap bundle giveaways and/or extra keys that we're given away in mass quantity for free as a reward.

Level 2 - Same as level 1, but can have up to 5 questions that might be slightly harder than those found in a level 1 puzzle. Prizes here will consist of cheap bundle games.

Level 3 - Puzzles of this difficulty can include up to 3 cryptograms and 5 questions that will test your knowledge of popular games, world history, and common knowledge/trivia. Prizes will be cheaper popular bundled games, so a perfect time to catch the games you missed!

Level 4 - Same as level 3, but with up to 7 questions that may be harder than level 3. Prizes will be popular bundled games that aren't as cheap when bought on their own.

Level 5 - With up to 5 cryptograms in up to 10 questions, these puzzles will test you knowledge needed in previous level and those of more obscure knowledge and trivia. Prizes will be giveaways of games that haven't found the light of bundles yet!

Level 6 - Same as level 5, these puzzles will have up to 15 questions that may be harder than those found in level 5. Prizes will those of popular games that have never been bundled before!

Level 7 - Hitting the big leagues, these puzzles will have up to 10 cryptograms in up to 20 questions. Knowledge of the kind found in previous levels along with less known games, history of countries, and knowledge of more obscure trivia and figures. Prizes of this level will feature AAA games!

Level 8 - With questions harder than those of level 7, puzzles of this level will number up to 25! Prizes will be game collections, and software on the steam store!

Level 9 - Puzzles of this level will be the most difficult I can conceive, period. With numerous single and mixed cryptographs that will send you on epic and long quests across the interwebs to find answers to 30+ questions, you will need teamwork to finish these puzzles, and as such, all answers will be shared, so if one person gets the correct answer, so does everyone! No timed hints are given in these puzzles, you must use your teamwork and knowledge to figure out the puzzles and find the answer. Knowledge of many obscure languages (common, dead, and completely/workably developed fictional), games from all generations and countries, History from across the world, and much more will be needed to solve these puzzles. Prizes for this level will be full publisher collections or equivalent!

Level 10 - Like level 9 puzzles, but answers are Not shared! Here you will be tested on how well you can solve my most difficult puzzles on your own. Prizes will be exceedingly valuable, as in custom built top of the line gaming rig valuable!
