Hello again dear SG people :-)

This time my best friend Kju and I made some giveaways for you and together we created puzzles for each one. It is a puzzle train :-) The train contains 8 puzzles and giveaways – bundled and non-bundled games.
To reach the first puzzle you have to find the letters for the ITH link in this picture. The letters are ordered like occidental comic book speech bubbles ^^.


Please don’t share any links or answers, you would break my heart if you do this.
We will both listen to you if you have any problems and help as well as we can but won’t provide any answers.

You have time until wednesday, may 6th 23:00pm (GMT+1)

Feel free to bump this thread and tell me what you think about the puzzles. I want feedback to improve the quality of future puzzles :-)!


EDIT: Manual for the poké-picture - The letters for the link are ordered line by line from left to right
HINT for P1: WHAT is love? Think rational, no emotions. Use Google + brain
HINT2 for P1: nice picture
HINT3 for P1: What are the building blocks of everything?

Major Updates (27.4.):

P2: I know it's much, but it is not hard, so keep on solving ;-)
P3: General advice - You need a tool to solve this puzzle.
P4: Added some more hints I omitted the last time I updates this puzzle ^^
P5: Ehm..Here I added some hints too. I think is is clear when you see them.
P6: Nothing new. Everything is fine ^^ Same rule as in P2.
P7: Changed some hints - hopefully to more precise ones :D
P8: Same as for P7. I also added a second hint for some questions.

New small Update (4.5.)

P1: If you don't get it now, I can't help you anymore :-/
P8: New hints and/or altered existing ones.

Thank you very much for the puzzles! I made it to the last one before finally succumbing to the difficulty.

There was a great variety of ideas and themes between the puzzles. My only criticism would be - and I think this has already been mentioned multiple times in the various giveaway pages - is that each puzzle basically involved performing the exact same task repeatedly. In cases where that task was time-consuming, primarily the Sodukus, Nonograms, country identification and, to a lesser degree, the paintings and theme songs, less questions would have been better. 3-5 questions would have been sufficient to demonstrate mastery of the puzzle idea while increasing the fun by eliminating some of the time-consuming repetition.

I shouldn't have started these so late, I gave up at P6 because I only got here today and it looked too much time consuming, especially since I have never solved nonograms before, and I had no idea how to do this efficently on a computer (I suck hard with picture edition softwares). P8 looks really fun to me, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Ok so I got stuck at Puzzle 6, I might have been able to do P7... but P8 was really hard if you don't know how to read music notes, the hints are helpful but there are a lot of games of the franchises of the hints! Really hard stuff, congratulations you two!

In Giveaway 7 - Octodad was an instruction on how to read them and a link to an online-app to play them. It was thought that one has to play around and maybe even learn a little bit by doing that.
Sure, it is hard (but not too hard i think :-P) but the reward is suitable.
