Haha the "M@" under you foot, Tree, was only there because I drew you first as a stand alone picture to test things out! I only drew the others afterwards, and didn't bother signing because I would have to sign the entire thing int he end anyway

I won't spoil the additional secret just yet, but there is a clue on the post 17 of this thread!

Am very happy to hear your comments Link, and you are so very welcome to borrow my santa any time you like!

As always, best of luck everyone. This is by biggest puzzle yet

Very nice piece of art Mat!

Thank you, Morris! ^-^

One player has almost finished my secret puzzle challenge and is making their way towards the first prize! Keep going everyone, you can make it

Pretty stumped with this!
So, post 17, you mention bringing a magnifying glass? Hmm.
Perhaps we have to zoom in really close to see a particular clue? And do we zoom in on those individual pictures or is it only hiding somewhere in the whole big picture? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?

Not telling but the puzzle starts in one of the individual pictures, and only one You won't find it in the big piccy but experience tells it's not worth playing spot the difference

And that's about it! Individual pictures below, feel free to take them, use them, edit them... whatever you like!

...But there's something I've added to one of the pictures! Good luck finding it and let's just say there may be some kind of treasure hidden behind it, if you can even crack it! Good luck!

@Tree

Edit: Oh, Mat beat me to the hint!

Grats to Mirai Leah on being the first person to complete the challenge, spending a mere 4 days to solve the entire thing!

I guess she's allowed to give hints now, if anyone is stuck... go bother her ;P

Hey, you wouldn't give me any hints - only miniscule nudges if I got stuck for more than a day on a step!

Bother Mat

Lol Congratulations Leah!

I'll give it 'til the end of Feb until I reveal the first clue.

I plan on making second mega-puzzle in the near future as well, with an easier starting, but for the sake of you smarties code crunching, it'll get much much harder as you go on, and maybe that'll force some of you to work together too >: P

Prizes are awarded up to the 6th place so better get sleuthing!

It was already hard enough!! 

And I did have a brainstorming party with a friend on a couple steps - an outsider though - nobody from the chat would/could help me!

"Share i tb'ed"

hehe

Get them to join! ;o

Share i tb'ed? IS THAT A CLUE?!?!

And no, you're turning into Mr. Steal Yo Friends. 

Hahaha

And no, you don't know the meme?!

I don't know what it means, (or should I say, what it memes?) either.

Good one Tree! hahaha

2nd Prize goes to Arrostil, who completed the challenge after a week of brain-wrenching torment on February the 18th

Huge congrats to him, coming very close to the next player who should be due soon too!

Oh wow! Well done Arrostil!

Spoiler alert!
