SOLUTION

It's pretty simple, really. At least how far ciphers and cryptography goes. Along with the number-to letter, letter-to-letter cipher, Caesarian Shift is one of the easier encryption ciphers. Using the Caesarian Shift, you shift every letter of the text X numbers forward or backwards in the alphabet. In this case, the coding was shifting 7 letters forward. https://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/caesar/ is a fantastic site and tool for learning about ciphers, as well as deciphering various texts :)

By finding the correct shift to recover the poem, and using the same shift on the 5 letters at the end, you got the correct link for the hidden 4 giveaways


The original text:

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Strange that I didn't try it as a giveaway code, I really didn't think about it. And it's clearly a five character thingy without clear meaning.
I had all games, but that's not the point. I didn't solve the puzzle in its entirety. I'll flagelate myself now.

I don't know, can we? Every time I try to have fun around here I find myself on more blacklists or people like xxxka or amanotc pop up and insult me and tell me I am what is wrong with this place. So I am starting to think this is a no fun allowed zone.
