I've been saving up some Humble Bundle keys for a while, and I think now's the time to part with them. All keys will be Humble Gift links.

Entry to the train will be guarded by a puzzle. Please don't post spoilers. I'll be happy to provide hints if people are having trouble.

Each giveaway will last 24 hours and start/end at 12:00 PM CST, two giveaways per day. Due to giveaway limits I won't be able to post them all at once, so keep an eye on the latest giveaway for an updated link to the next car of the train.

I've decided on a theme of reflecting on the past. If you feel so inclined, please post one of your favorite memories, or discuss the poll.

Good luck everyone!

Hint #1 - The answer ends with the letter A

Hint #2 - I could easily add these extra lines to the riddle:
Number 26 generates buzz,
But does not indulge in rumors,
12 can live, laugh and love,
Though it has no sense of humor

Hint #3 - Pay attention to where Number 5 begins and ends and where Number 2 starts

Hint #4 - Another set of lines to add to the riddle:
Number three can crack the case,
But cannot solve the issue,
Number twenty ends the hurt,
And also births the tissue

Hint #5 - The answer starts with the letter A

Riddle Answers:
Riddle 1 - The letter A
Riddle 2 - Smoke
Riddle 3 - Waterfall

I'm sure there'll be hints later, sorry I can't help you as Tasnek said not to post spoilers, so I'll leave the hints to them ^^

I'm sure there will be as well
I am going to beat my head on the wall if the answer is as simple as the first one.

well I found it, and English isn't my mother-tongue, so I guess it's kinda simple...? The problem with riddles is that there's no "easy" or "hard" as it really depends on how it matches the person's logic >.>

I feel so stupid. It took me so long, and all the hints, as well as several of the comments in this thread.
I love-hate these kind of puzzles. Thanks 😅
