SimonG: From what game is that? It looks like a Fallout talking head (Harold).

Vorax: Atlantis 3: The New World.
Thanks, I was afraid I missed the egyptian part of Fallout ...

ABH20: Atlantis III. When I saw that screenshot I couldn't help but think that's pretty much what I'll look like by the time I finish my ever-growing GOG backlog.
I think a lot of GOGers can relate. Good Job!

Well done everyone - all the arty winners look awesome!
But what was the thing of the Cryptogram - what's the decryption method?

ABH20: I didn't expect to win the Caption Contest at all! I only entered on that one on a whim.
Same here! But in the end, it's a good thing we did. ;)

Thanks to GOG and congratulations to the other winners.

(Btw, how does the prize claiming works?)

Actually, it was pretty easy, two steps:
1) basic Playfair cipher has no "J" letter - GOG's message had no "W" letter so it was needed to rotate alphabet (to the moment "J" was missing letter) - use of Caesar shift or just ROT13
2) after it was needed to find correct keyword to decode message using Playfair decoding.

Usually, someone from GOG staff contacts you via e-mail and asks you what game do you want. It's not an automated or complicated process at all.

That's fine if you know that pairs of letters without any of the pairs being the same letter = Playfair, which I do now, thanks to Wikipedia!
BTW - Lord Playfair - what an odd name!

The ad campaigns are amazing. Congrats to all!

Maybe you could post every other campaign you got and also have an open voting?

I really love the gaming never gets old campaign. I'd like to see it used :)
