That is incredibly crazy.

My secret santa carefully read what I answered for "best gift received". I told him that it was a wooden box, and inside that box, 2 tickets for an escape game, the first I ever did, and it was not the last. So, my secret santa decided to take that to the next level.

On the box (which I know was from him, since it was written "That Reddit thingy"), first of all there was a LOT of tape, extremely well sealed. After I ripped everything off (I'm like a kid with packages, I can't just open them properly), there was 2 things. A wooden box, and a another box, but sealed with an ENORMOUS lock, and no apparent key. Sounds like the beginning af an exciting puzzle, right ?

Next step, is to find how to open the wooden box. I knew that because my secret santa put a little marble inside, to indicate me that it can be opened. It isn't very apparent how to do so, but I managed my way in. Puzzle solved !

I thought this was the end of my aventure. I was so wrong. When I opened up the lock to free the box (I have to note the "Bacon" strip over it, I loved this detail!) and I opened it, I saw "Let's play a game". And boy, you would not believe it. Another box was inside, but this time with a maze on 5 of its 6 faces ! A marble was inside it, and I had to get the marble to a specific location to unlock this box. And a maze that goes on 5 faces of a cube is a great challenge !

When I finally solved the maze I opened the box, I saw a folded little piece of paper. On it, a Humble Bundle gift link, and 3 codes. I directly knew they were Steam codes, but just in case, to add one last puzzle, my secret santa made a little riddle to clear that there were Steam codes. The only unfortunate part is that I owned 2 of these games, but it turned up as a great advantage since I gave the codes to my friends and spread the gift with others. These are all great games !

To my secret santa: you are a God. Thank you so so much ! I love solving riddles, having to search for a key reminded me of the escape games I did this year, it was so well presented, all the details were awesome. This is a whole new level on Redditgifts ! I have something to confess though. Remember when I said that my first gift was in a wooded box ? It was the exact same box as you did, only yours is bigger (don't put this out of context). I am already trained ;)

THANK YOU AGAIN ! And have a happy new year ! <3
