Hello,

This is a sub-topic of this one : https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/hK2kQ/orphan-keys-drop-thread where keys are 90% of the time snatched by bots or ungrateful ninjas.

Here you can gift directly keys to other people, but you can NEVER PUT THE KEYS DIRECTLY IN THE MESSAGE, even encoded ones, because silent ninjas are as intelligent as grateful people and can solve the riddles too.

So here are a few ways :

  • Propose a game and request an email address, and send the key here to the first one to answer or the one you prefer (and ask the gifted to remove the address afterwards, you never know)
  • Propose a game and the first one to answer will get a message in one of his old giveaways, or even better, in one of his old "Thanks" message on an old GA (the thing here is that only this person will get a notification with the key).
  • Combine the 2 previous ones : ask for an email address in an old GA
  • Propose a game and put the key in a comment on the Steam profile of the first answer => still in public, bad idea
  • Propose a game and add on Steam the first / best person to answer and give him/her the key by chat
  • Propose a game and send the key telepathically to the first / best to answer (advanced users only)

If the person answering doesn't have too much GAs won or given, maybe don't use that.

Don't hesitate to propose more possibilities !
