Another puzzle for people who like to puzzle without puzzle ... cough
Perhaps everyone has the game ...again, but perhaps at least 5 will enter XD
Regardless: I hope some will have some fun :)
PS: Of course I will give out hints if needed, but try it first yourself; its not that difficult this time, I promise ;)

BTW: GA is ending 22. SEP, 10 PM ;)

UPDATE: Here you can check your solutions (without upper and lower case, because the site doesnt care, it seems ^^'):
http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/HRmcPEk3
So noone has to try multiple times on SG ;)
(And I wrote "three" instead of "five" in the end sentence...... -____- FYI)

Hmm... I've got some ideas, but I'm not really sure what to do with them. I'm guessing the images fit together to make a phrase - is that correct?

There are five pictures. For five letters/numbers. Somewhere five of them are used for GAs ;)

Right, I got that now and I've made sense of some of the images... still stuck on 3 & 4 tho. SteamGifts is gonna think I'm trying to DDOS them with the amount of urls I've tried :P

Hmm, I've got a lineup where each one makes sense but I think a few aren't the right ones... problem is, I don't know how to figure out which one is right and wrong!

I'll ask this: is #3 a number like I think it is? and is #4 on the top row of letters on a qwerty keyboard?

I have the right answer on the Too Hard Puzzle, but I've tried all 8 combination of capitals and lowercase in making a URL and still nothing. I even tried writing it backwards. Is it scrambled or something I haven't noticed?

You tried every combination?! O_o Did you remember the slash? Another hint: two are small ;)

I tried again about 2 seconds before you posted... I had forgotten the slash!

I've been sitting around for three days thinking my guesses are wrong, nope, it was the darn forward-slash!

First of all, thanks for the puzzle and Grim Fandango Remastered, GateKlar. :) ♥
Image 1, 2 and 3 are relatively obvious, image 4 has several possibilities just as image 5.
Though I'm unsure about image 5, I fear there are too many possible combinations. You also have to deal with upper and lower case letters, because giveaway links are caSe seNsitiVe.
I'm unable to solve yet.
Have a bump :)

Thanks for the comment and bump :)
Upper and lower case are part of the riddles and not just trying (even though it would be just 50/50 XD)
Extra Hint: More Hints are hidden for additionally Hints. Hints. ;)
You can do it! ☼

Hi GateKlar, your hints are partly helpful and partly confusing. :D
I'm trying to not overthink the puzzle (which is in fact no puzzle as you stated in the introduction), but I'm still unable to solve. I even fail on figuring out where the hints for lower and upper case letters are hidden, or how to use your mix of lower and upper case letters to find the right combination.
I'm too dumb, I suppose. :D at least I'm not alone as there are still no entries in your gib

Hey heyday :)
And here I thought I prevented confusing hints or these only some on earth due to culture would know ^^'
Where are you stuck? An extra hint is always okay in my books ;)
PS: Upper and lower cases are really in the pictures themselves ^^ (there are only three letters ;) Plus there are hints for every "riddle" in plain sight XD
PS: You are not dumb! >:S I really like that you are trying to solve my puzzles; thanks :D

Hi GateKlar,
you were asking where I got stuck, but this is hard to point out if you don't know which part you got right. :D
Your additional hints here in the commentaries helped me to be certain about 1 and 5. I also think that I found the right solution for 4 (your embedded image description helped a lot).
I'm still uncertain about 2 and 3. The guy in image 2 has obviously a tiny penis, though I really dunno if this is what you meant. sorry xD
Yeah, I could possibly bruteforce the last missing 2 letters. There are 2704 possible combinations if my math is correct, but that would be lame and could be considered as cheating.
I guess you have to make better hints in order to have at least 5 participants. ;D ;p ;)

The guy in image 2 has obviously a tiny penis, though I really dunno if this is what you meant.

Someone had to say it. Thank you. But again he has a big Hummer that could compensate it?... :p :P.
Do you think that 5 is a number or a letter? Taking 3 as a number would solve it for me but destroys my 5....

sigh again I had so many good options with slight variations... a giveaway for the Darkness pops up... arrr

Bruteforcing could be a bit dangerous -> https://www.steamgifts.com/blocked

Aw, I wouldn't do that anyway, but keep in mind that fast paced manual checking of links could also lead to "suspicious traffic" ;D
According to GateKlar's hint, #5 should be a number. or I completely missed it

One exception: 5 is the most on the nose. There is no random guessing involved, I swear ^^
PS: Again: The extra hints on the pictures will help.

Two letter pictures make no sense being numbers. So the other two, which dont make sense being letters, must be numbers ;)

Hint: Dont say "tiny" and then say it loud.
Hint 2: The guy is what? Something you can say in many different ways and is something great! (most of the time XD)
I want you guys to have fun, so I will always help so noone gets too frustrated ^^

HAHA ok I'm pretty pretty sure I got #2 now.
I did a synonym search and found a word that fits just too perfectly!

But why is it still not working.... #1 check, #2 check #3 check #4 I think check but maybe Shadorian's question clears a mistake? Maybe that one is a piece of cake in the end and not the one what I might think?

EDIT: ok finally got your hints to #5, still.... common WHY is it not correct...
EDIT2: #2 Even if I got the word there are three possibilities how I could use it: Use the Word itself. The slightly off sound of the letter or break it up in the middle.

Yay, we finally have 1 entry in you gib, but it's not me. :D
Aww man, how would a child call a dude with a micropenis?
Honestly, I don't get it. Probably because I'm not a native tongue?!
Ok, lemme consolidate what I have. #1 is clear, #2 is a guessing game for me, #3 is clear, #4 is clear after your YANDY hint, #5 is still vague.
Image #5 shows an inequality but the solution is not a digit.
(Meanwhile I also found a link to another unrelated giveaway :D)
Maybe I'm giving up on this, but don't feel sad, it still is fun at least for me.
I hope you gonna post the answers once the gib has finished. ;)

Hint: It also sounds like Number 1. But not the number 1 in this riddle. A Number 1 in the bathroom ;)
And for 5: ITS RIGHT THERE! No searching or guessing! XD The rest is just for the upper or lower case :P
Dont give up ^^ But I am glad you still have fun :D

Gah! I thought these hints would have gotten it for me, but still nothing so far. I guess my one of my other ones is wrong, but they all make sense! The first is obvious, the third is the only number that makes sense, and the fourth is the only sound I know that pirates make (at least that I know). ARRgh!

Sounds good :)
Additional hints for you and people who read this far:

  1. Number 2. When something is called a state of size, its a hint for upper or lower case. Always 3. Wario is it too, when we believe what he is saying in the games XD 4. Again: Say it loud and think about my 2. 5. It also marks the spot! ;)

Thank you very much for the puzzle :)

I thought I had three very good solutions - only thing that made be feel uncomfortable is that all had only capital letters, ups I just mixed up a letter still -> well nope.
Back to the roots - I probably have the totally wrong method.

Thanks for commenting and trying :D
Every pic gives a hint about upper or lower case ^^ There are obvious, imo, so dont let yourself get caught up in thoughts XD
As for the letters themselves: Only one is a liiitle harder (again imo), but the extra hints on the pics will help ;)

Problem is which method to use and how to filter(?) out what you need.

For 1 and 4 I have three possibilities which sound promising. Well for 1 one seams to be more right but for 4 (...j0ke not intended) a number and a Letter are pretty equal.
If I take aside the obvious H for 2. 2,3 are pretty vague.
But in the end nothing espect one very vague thing seams to make sense for 5.... that one really bugs me.

At the moment it's just a guessing game :/

Little fun fact I found another sadly deleted giveaway^^

You tried so many you found an old GA?! XD
First: 2 is NOT "H" ;) I wanted it to be obvious, but not THAT obvious :P How would you know if its upper or lower case? Something in the pic (not necessarily written) will tell you both information ;) Most pics wont have the solution just showing up.
One exception: 5 is the most on the nose. There is no random guessing involved, I swear ^^
PS: Again: The extra hints on the pictures will help.

I tried upper/lowercase x 10 numbers so 20 tries must have been 'luck'


Let me just summarize what I think that is right a the moment: The pictures themselves indicate upper/lowercase. The riddle+the pictures as a hint (and probably not directly seen) will indicate the letter or number.


For 2nd I wonder if it's just hard to see or more metaphorical :P
You say 5 is more obvious, I put that aside for the moment with 2 ideas.
Leaving 3 as my main problem at the moment how to combine the picture with the words... to many ideas...


Also I wonder if there are hints hidden inside your hints (as you point at them very much or are there even more hidden elsewhere) and also why do two words break the order the others seam to have. Intentional or chance.... hmm
Even a Big Pirate can send mixed signals.....

Yeah, thats right: The picture will tell something specific. For example a picture of a big eye = The uppercase letter "I" ;)
2nd: I dont use hidden object pictures ^^ Its always a little thinking outside the box, as you say XD
5th: It really IN YOUR FACE :P
3rd: Nothing to combine. Try describing the pic. What is it showing?
Try resting your mouse for a bit. While looking at a pic. Then you see MY hints for the pics ^^

Hmm... interesting puzzle.
I feel like 1 is obvious, 2 has two likely possibilities, 3 has variants on two possibilities, 4 is obvious with the hint, and 5 is bothering me.
(And like D3D, I also ran into another giveaway! It wasn't a deleted one though, but a whitelist-only one.)

For 5, is math needed? (Feel free to ignore the question if you think that makes the solution too obvious.)
(Also, I'm afraid that even if I crack your code, I won't be entering -- I love Grim Fandango too much to not have already bought it when it first arrived on Steam. :) )

[edit] solved! ...mostly. [/edit]

I am so glad 4 is obvious for you, because I started to feel bad for making it perhaps too obscure ^^'
No, Math or specific knowledge isnt required in these kind of riddles (thats what I like about most "Escape Room"s ;)
Thanks for doing the puzzle anyway! :D And solving it, so other cant say its impossible :P

I think I got picture 4. Not sure if the rewards are already gone, but I enjoy doing this.

Edit: I thought I had all of them, but apparantly not. 1,4 and 5 seem Obvious but I am doubting about 2 and 3.

Hey, Luchadores! Thanks for trying this kind of riddle and commenting :)

  1. Hint: Every GA Link has something in common!
  2. Hint: 2: What is the problem in the pic? Say it loud. Hear the answer :P 3: Was is he?
    Many hints are also in my other replies in this thread :D
    PS: Thanks for reminding me to state the end of the GA! XD I will add it now :)

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it, I feel I have an answer for all of them now, but it is still wrong haha. Not sure which one tho, so still trying to figure it out. I guess the fifth one is wrong, as I had a number for it and had 3 numbers in total.
