25 Days - 25 Puzzles
The year 2020 has been - and still is - difficult and sad; celebrations tainted by fear, and a gloomy, subdued summer to boot. The upcoming Christmas holiday already carries a dark, chilly note. So this year, instead of my habitual seasonal greeting cards, I put together something different: a game. A riddle consisting of 25 puzzles, each for every day of December until Christmas.
Due to the general ambiance, the game's mood ended up tipping towards the macabre - but as my grandmother used to say, "fight evil with evil": instead of forced joy (which brings more depression anyway), I let myself go into a shameless, unrepentant Gothic spree, complete with mysteries, psychological horror and the entire "portfolio".
The game is based on the principle of a traditional advent calendar. Each day, whose number on the calendar page can be pressed, corresponds to an individual puzzle presented in the form of a Polaroid photo/card. On this card there are clues leading directly or indirectly to the answer. Each card will remain open, so that anyone can return and consult/revise their previous answers. All answers should be noted down and kept handy, as they will all be needed for the final solution.
Replacing part of the URL with the word or word/number combination that answers each puzzle, access is gained to more information and/or trivia concerning its subject matter. Although this step is not mandatory, it can help verify the validity of each answer, as well as of its formatting. In case of a wrong or incorrectly formatted answer, an error page will appear.
Individual answers and the final solution require EXCLUSIVELY Latin lowercase characters (NO capitals) and/or numbers, WITHOUT spaces, punctuation or other symbols.
If the riddle is completed successfully, rewards await (in digital form).
