Oh! That's right! It's not the holidays without a chance to visit GOG.com, looking for new and interesting ways that Coala has photo-chopped wintery iconography into them. It's a tradition that we're continuing for our fourth year!

The contest is simple: go through our catalog; we've edited 12 images, scattered across our wide selection of games, to include obvious holiday references, such as santa hats, Christmas trees, or reindeer. For an example, take a look at one of our screenshots from last year:

When you’ve got them all, list them all in an email to "contest@gog.com" with the subject line being "GOG.com 2012 Scavenger Screenshot Hunt". From every valid application we will pick 10 winners who got all the games right and gift them two games from the entire catalog. The contest ends on Tuesday December 25th 2012 11:59 GMT.

Or, I suppose, on the 21st of December when the world erupts in fire and doom. But if we're still around after that, then we'll end the contest officially on the 24th. ;)
YAY!... found them all...
Wait, we've got to go through the entire catalogue? Or only games released here in 2012? Well, that'll take some time... erm, gotta do it on the weekend, I guess.
I found them all! The last one I needed to find took me some time till I finally found it.
So beyond bummed after way too many hours going through every game. I found 11 plus 3 that I guess aren't real (a candy cane pole, candy canes in a plane game, and a snowman that I think are all bogus). I want to cry now.

That is so sad! :-(

Stupid contest! See what you are doing to the poor people by forcing them to search through the ENTIRE catalog, GOG.com? 500 games is ridiculous. Next time, limit it to a particular set of sections, like genres or something - if not a single particularly large section.

Now I've got to steer this poor SOB in the right direction through PMs... * sigh *
It took longer to search this year compared to last year, but the clues were more easier to spot.

Makes me wonder what it'll be like next year, if there is a next year...
Damit; i searched it now the second time; i have 11/12. T.T

Hope my clues helped : )
Sorry, but as an adventure gamer I couldn't give a straight answer : ))
If you need any more help, let me know.

Dizzard: I thought it was just the list of names we have to give them.

Found 8 so far....having a massive drought at the moment though.

Gosh with all this searching for pictures I might forget to spend money in the sale.

Frankly with all this drawn out searching, everybody who enters the correct answers should get a game.
:/
Second that. ;)
Got 9/12... It seems that i need to go over whole catalog once again!
I've only been able to find 11. I really don't have time to search any more right now and I'm dreading having to search through the entire catalog for the one that eludes me.
Noooo; i misread the post; i read they will gift you the entire catalog 2 times. T.T

I'm so glad I found all 12 on the first run through. I'm pretty sure I would have just thrown my hands in the air and called it quits if I hadn't.
Got the dreaded 11/12 and can't go on, been through every game twice now and just losing the will to live. Truly ashamed of myself for even attempting this... it's 2 hours I will never get back, and will get absolutely nothing for... :(

Send me a PM with what you have, I'll send you a hint for the 12th.
