Seasons Greetings—We Made You a PACG Puzzle!

Got 'em all! 31 took me a bit.

Found them all!
My way of approaching was to turn the puzzle around. First think of a character and then find his/her name in the list.. :X

Also: This hidden puzzle sounds amazing... :D

I found the message after unscrambling only two names. Thanks, Mike!

I found the message after unscrambling only two names. Thanks, Mike!

I would not say this is my hardest puzzle ever.

I know; I'm stuck in the Maze of Games. I just found it fun to find the message without unscrambilng the names.

When I did the puzzle, I first tried to get all the names without looking at the message. When my pace slowed, I did the message and filled in the gaps. It was pretty fun for me that way.

I'm pretty impressed if you got the whole thing from just 2, though.

Yay, Maze of Games! Which part are you on, Mal?

After doing the first one, I was able to find the message all the way down to 22 pretty quickly, then I had to play around a bit to finish it up.

As might be obvious, the test of this puzzle is not to figure out the message. It's to figure out all the characters.

I solved number one, then none of the others popped out at me so I used intuition to suss out the message from the available letters. The other one I unscrambled just to see who it was.

Yay, Maze of Games! Which part are you on, Mal?

I'm only on the Seven of Diamonds. I've solved the crossword and gotten a phrase from squares A-L but haven't been able to figure out what it means. I haven't looked at it for a while.

Which clue do you think most appropriately matches the character? If you answer, don't say the character's name, just the clue.

I think "IMPAIR" is the most appropriate.

I figured out the message pretty quickly, but took me longer to solve all the characters. But finally did it after 2.5 hours!

I have now unscrambled them all.

I know you said no spoilers but,

"BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"

Seriously, Mike, seriously? ;)

Which clue do you think most appropriately matches the character? If you answer, don't say the character's name, just the clue.

I think "IMPAIR" is the most appropriate.

This next bit is a spoiler. I mean that. So don't open it if you're not done with the puzzle.

"BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"

But it was countersigned in ink!

I finally finished it. I wouldn't have been able to without all the character sheets. This made me realize just how much characters we already have and how much more are yet to come! Thanks Mike, this was fun!

Which clue do you think most appropriately matches the character? If you answer, don't say the character's name, just the clue.

I think "IMPAIR" is the most appropriate.

After looking up it's meaning, I'd say "ERSATZ" is most appropriate.

Yep

Wishing you a merry 2017 from here where we for a few hours are one year ahead.

Careful with the Maze spoilers there.

Oh, and now I come up with

Sad, took me around 15 to backsolve :(

I was able to solve the full puzzle from my memory of the characters, but I don't think I'm going to be able to recall all the PACG characters from memory anymore :(

*me sheds a tear, opens a document titled "Puzzle ideas for when Palindrome wins the Mystery Hunt", crosses off an entry*

This looks fun - I'm saving it as a warm-up for the Panda this weekend.

Is there a forum somewhere for Maze of Games questions? Because I looked around and couldn't find anything.

There is a wiki.

Trying to avoid spoilers here, but is one of the answers a name from an ally rather than a character? I'm finding this puzzle pretty tricksy since I only have 2 base sets and 2 supplemental decks. Tricksy tricksy but also fun!

There are a few characters in the game that are also allies. The character sheets might help you.

Trying to do this puzzle while trying to remember all the character names without a reference makes it much harder than it needed to be.

Fun puzzle though Mike.

Thanks.

Figured I'd post the answer to unstump the stumped:
