Here's a treasure hunt type thing. There are 8 gifts hidden in the riddle below, be the first to claim them!

-All gifts are from GOG
-Some gifts have more than one game.
-Clicking on a linked gift does not automatically redeem the gift.
-None of the links will lead you out of the GOG website.
Everything has been redeemed!

A plane crashes with one hundred people inside. They all find themselves at the gates of Hell. The devil is bored that day and decides to give them all a chance to go to Heaven; all they have to do is play a little game. At the start of the game, the devil will randomly line them all up into a straight queue with each person facing the back of the person next in line. The devil will then, at random, place a blue or a red hat on each person's head. No one knows the colour of their own hat. Each person can see the hat of everyone else in front of them, but not the ones behind. Starting from the back of the line, the devil will then ask each person to tell him the colour of their own hat. Since everyone can hear one another, they must only say "blue" or "red", without any extra intonation. The ones who guess correctly will go to Heaven; the ones who guess wrong will stay in Hell. Before the game starts, the devil allows the group to come up with a strategy to save as many people as possible. Once the game starts, the people will not be allowed to speak to each other.

What strategy will allow at least 99 of the people to be saved?


There's more!
-First person who solves the riddle correctly will get a GOG game of their choice.
-First person to post an answer to the riddle involving super natural abilities will get Psychonauts (GOG).
-First person to post a troll video of any kind gets Duke Nukem 3D (GOG).
WARNING: Getting any one of these prizes disqualifies you for the other two.

GO!

Hah --I clicked randomly on a word in the middle and got a game I actually did not have... Redeemed and thank you very much.
I know this is not right, but it's the only thing I can think of.

By saying the opposite of the color of the hat in front of them.

I don't know what video qualifies as a troll video. :/ Does this one count?

Aaargh, I was too late. :/
Well, congrats to gameon. ^_^

I would have accepted it, but gameon posted one first, sorry.
I found myself some super powered frog and a cute little earthworm! It seems I have been digging at the right spot! Thanks for the fun game, thumbs and rep up ;)
Nice, I got a package including Blood 1 and 2! Always wanted to give them a try, now I have the chance. Thank you very much! :)

No problem, thanks for the giveaway and for the fun. ^_^
found 2 unredeemed but already had them anyway +1
Everyone rests a hand on the shoulder in front of them.
If it's a blue hat, rest on the right shoulder.
If it's a red had, rest on the left shoulder.

Oh & thank you for the Descent codes.

gameon: Sorry about that people. But if retro gamer would like some compensation, i have the humble indie android bundle 2 if he wants something....
No problem, you was faster, you won the game. And I have the Android Bundle already. ^_^
If they all had the power to grow eyes on the top of their heads, they could just look up and see what color the hat is. They'd also have to have night vision I suppose. It'd be rather dark in there.

Super natural enough I think :)
