It’s a holiday tradition! We’ve decorated a Christmas Tree in the GOG.com office. Random people are running around in holiday hats and singing along the winners of the Holiday Songs Contest.

We think that our website deserves some holiday touch of its own and we will deliver that! During our 50% off Xmas Sale we already had four big publishers join forces with us. EA helped us with the the EA Crossword Puzzle, Interplay in the Interplay Caption Contest, thanks to Activision for the Activision Holiday Song Contest and last but not least Ubisoft motivated you guys to write some Ubisoft themed New Year’s Eve Resolutions.

So it’s finally time for the Third Annual GOG.com Screenshot Scavenger Hunt to start! Here are the rules: From now until Friday the 30th of December 2011 we’re going to have some Holiday themed screenshots up on our website for you to find. ;) They will be hidden in our game cards, surrounded by all of the regular screenshots. The trick is (as you can see below) that some of them will be “spiced up” with some holiday themed devices:

When you find a holiday themed screenshot (there are 20 of them in total), be sure to write down the name of the game. When you’ve got them all, list them all in an email to "[url=mailto:contest@gog.com?subject=GOG.com 2011 Scavenger Screenshot Hunt]contest@gog.com[/url]" with the subject line being "[url=mailto:contest@gog.com?subject=GOG.com 2011 Scavenger Screenshot Hunt]GOG.com 2011 Scavenger Screenshot Hunt[/url]". From every valid application we will pick 10 winners who got all the games right and gift them two games from the entire catalogue (excluding The Witcher 2). The contest ends on Friday December 30th 2011 11:59 GMT

Profanity: Dilemma - looking at the first screenshot of Still Life, wanted to put it down on the list, but googled just in case. It seems that the out of places festivities should be there, and were not inserted by GoG.... now how should we know that?
I've got a similar dilemma about a certain snowman... Both the festivities in Still Life and my snowman (won't say which game) actually appear in-game, but should we count them as holiday-screenshots? Would be nice, because so far I've found 18 pics and I'm stuck...

Oh god, the thing I was afraid of when I started scavenging happened - went trough ALL the games, found 19 festivities.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.

Damn. Damn. Damn. Me too.

EDIT: Found the twentieth, but I must say that it was a nasty one. Even now that I know (I think) that it's the one, I find it hard to fully visualise the festive element.

The snowman blends in way too well for it to be part of the contest though ;)

adambiser: ... and done! There was one there that I thought was more difficult than the rest.
I agree completely. One is indeed more difficult.

Arteveld: And now that Thiev is in blue, this might actually be harder than ever.:>
I had no part in preparing that contest, I'm afraid :)

But at the same time, there are some that you can see pretty easily in the thumb nail.

Time to check every horror/gore game again!

Assuming your last is also my last to find.

Looking forward to after the deadline when everyone will start sharing their vulnerabilities and strategies for finding every image.

I never said it was a horror/gore game. I only meant that it was difficult to find.

That's even worse. Chances are, we're not even talking about the same game.

Since I used the "vulnerability" (lazy programmer that I am...), I'll prepare a detailed how-to and post it here after the deadline expires. I assume GOG will plug the "security hole" by next year's contest.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

We all know that it has something to do with the date the image was posted, it wasn't festive all year. Actually checking the date of images on every game takes longer than just rolling trough them.

No, you must be using something more sinister. Something more programmy.

Huh, this contest gets more and more difficult every year (with the catalogue getting bigger). :D
