Hints:

  • There is only one uppercase character in the giveaway code.
  • The puzzle is also the solution.
  • Check the game. Now you should know what to do. The game is not required to solve the puzzle but it can serve as a hint.
  • It was pointed to me some might think of something else for the first character. Be generic or try all three possibilities. One will work.
  • The order of the characters is the same as the order of the animals in the picture.
  • You must recognize the breeds.
  • The code contains a number.
  • One of the cats is Exotic.

Note:

If you solve it, please leave a message in the giveaway page so I can know how many solved it. The more data I have, the better I can adjust the difficulty accordingly for future puzzles. Also, please no spoilers in the thread. Have fun!


Solution:

  • We have to identify the breeds and construct the code.
  • For the first character, the dog in the image is a Jack Russell Terrier but since I said we have to be generic, the answer is Terrier.
  • For the second character, the cat in the image is a Chartreux.
  • For the third and the fourth characters in the image we have seven Harriers. Therefore, the third character is 7 and the answer for the fourth character is Harrier.
  • For the fifth character, the cat in the image, as I already specified in the hints, is an Exotic.
  • Now that we have the answers, we need to identify the lower/upper case characters. As I already said in the hints, there is only one uppercase character. Knowing this and looking in the image, we notice the biggest group of animals corresponds to the third and fourth code positions, namely the Harriers, the bigger number being a hint towards the uppercase character being H. Obviously, everything else has lowercase characters.
  • Fastest method to solve it: split the image into 4 or 5 distinct images of each animal and do an image search on Google for each of them, therefore finding out the breeds and the solution.

Thanks. Did you solve it or was just a simple bump? If you solved it, leave a message on the giveaway page and I'll add you to the list of solvers, regardless if you have the game or not.

Simple bump because felt so empty, only had a quick look but couldn't make head or tails of it, but usually not that smart with such puzzles anyway.

Oh, OK. Let me give you some additional hints in case you want to tackle it for fun. It pretty much mimics the game. If you open the game page and you look at the gameplay trailer you should know what you need to do. It's quite easy just not verbatim. And the order is already given in the picture.

What if I tell you there's a method to solve it in 5 minutes tops without any prior knowledge of any of the pets? And it's something people do all the time. :)
Also keep in mind things are logical. Don't overthink it too much. Just read the picture out loud if you need to. You should notice something to get you to the 5 chars.

:) Let me rephrase my hint. Try to answer this question while looking at the image and you should have your answer:
"What do I have in front of me?" Try to answer it like a kid would. Leave out your assumptions and answer it as plainly as possible. This is the key to your questions. ;)

Added hints since the bounce rate seems pretty high. It's supposed to be an easy one and quite fun to solve too at least if you like pets.

In my opinion the puzzle is the game and anything else is the reward for completing the game. Thanks for the bump and feel free to come back anytime.

Hehe. Exactly.
Were you not afraid others could have been mad after solving the 10?
Personally for me it gave me a wide grin :)

Sadly don't have the time (again) to solve this one... cats&dogs.... where have I seen this before... ;)
I am sorry everyone, I could not prevent this puzzle

I don't see why anyone would. The difficulty and the reward description inform everyone of what they should expect. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything :)

Anything less would be level 0 :). Trust me, it's very easy to solve and it can be done even if you don't know anything about pets. The good thing is by solving it you'll find out more about them :).

The Impossible Quest was a lot more complex than this one but still straightforward with the right approach. If you want to check it, I already posted the solution so be sure to skip it if you want to do it for fun. Or you can cheat and take a peek at it. It doesn't really matter as long as you're having fun :).

I shudder to think what a difficulty 10 puzzle would be like in your books... The very thought is making me lose SAN points. :|

Well, good luck to everyone else. :)

I have a level 10 puzzle here if you want to check it.
This one is not supposed to be difficult. You most likely overthink it too much. You shouldn't. The code is right in front of you. Just follow the gameplay and apply it to the image. Don't make false assumptions. You're not supposed to. Hopefully this will get you back on track. Keep in mind everything is logical. Good luck!

I've looked long and hard at your solution for the lv 10 one and I still have no idea what any of that means. But considering I'm also failing to solve the level 0 one, that doesn't surprise me.

Comment has been collapsed.

I gave you some hints for the level 0 one. You should be able to solve it in maximum 4 tries. The level 10 one was obviously a lot harder although still solvable by logical reasoning. I'll make puzzles with other difficulty levels too when I get the chance. Feel free to come back to any when you want. I made a separate thread to keep track of each puzzle. You can check it up here if you want.
Good luck ;)

I disagree. Its difficulty level doesn't imply anything. Sometimes one notices some things and sometimes one doesn't. There's nothing more to it ;)
