Puzzles for Prizes: Aunt Arctic’s Writings
Each day, I’ll be posting a new puzzle to solve, and the winner at the end shall receive half a dozen Card Jitsu cards. If you’re interested or bored in this isolation period, check it out and have a go!
How does it work?
As many people are currently bored and have no school, I’ve decided to host some puzzles! To note, these replace rather than complement the Mountains Monday giveaways. You can check back at 9am GMT here each day to find a new one. There will be three puzzles until the winner is announced. By successfully completing the puzzle, you’ll receive some entries, and at the end of the week, a giveaway winner will be selected.
The prize will always be Card Jitsu cards that shall be mailed to you. I should note that there are many delays with the postal service, and it has been suspended in a very small amount of countries, so it may take a bit longer than the usual week to reach you.
Prize: six Card Jitsu cards How are winners picked?
- By entering and correctly answering the puzzle, you’ll receive some entries
- Once all three puzzles have concluded, all of these entries are inserted into a random generator
- The top fifty penguin names are then inserted into a wheel, and the winner is whoever the wheel picks
In simple terms, basically just have an attempt at the puzzle each day!
You do not need to enter all the puzzles to win the prize, but the more you enter and answer correctly, the more likely you are to win!
Feel free to try the puzzles for fun even if you don’t wish to enter the giveaway!
The winner was Flippflapp1! Congratulations, I’ve sent you an email. Don’t worry if you didn’t win, there’ll be more in the future! [screenshot]
Congratulations – you helped Aunt Arctic with her latest story!
By the way, here are the answers:
Puzzle 1: Plant
Puzzle 2:- Boiler Room
- Dance Lounge
- Mine Shack
- Beacon
- Hidden Lake
- Pet Shop
- Forest
- Box Dimension
A few people entered typos, which wasn’t a problem as long as it was clear what the room was intended to be.
Puzzle 3: The puffle was pink. The room was intended to be the Iceberg, but any place with sea was fine, so I accepted the: Iceberg, Beach, Ski Lodge and Aqua Grabber.
I’m hoping to be able to do more “exciting” prizes, like magazines again, in the future, but sadly it’ll have to be once the whole virus situation is over. I hope that you enjoy the puzzles though.
Best of luck!

Puzzles for Prizes: Easter Egg Hunt
Happy Easter! I hope that everyone is enjoying their Easter. I know that many people aren’t able to leave home now, and shouldn’t, when they’d sometimes be doing an Easter Egg hunt, so I thought it’d be fun to do a small one here.
I must apologise for the lack of prizes, but I can’t really send anything more exciting until after the lockdown is over. The winner will receive six Card Jitsu cards from series one. Please note they’re physical, and will be posted to your house.
Prize: 6 Card Jitsu cards
- Paint by Letters
- Snowball Fight
- Newspaper Archives
- Summer Party
- Yarr
- Puffle Round-up (power card)
Please note that these are physical cards and this is a merchandise giveaway
Here’s how it works: four Easter eggs have been hidden on an island Rockhopper has explored in the image above. In order to be entered, you must find all four, but they’re not too difficult to find! You should then give the co-ordinates for each egg. Eggs are distinguishable by the fact they have an image on them.
For example: E2 shows a barrel, and C8 shows a hole in the cheese.
The giveaway has now closed. Congratulations to Mageug0 who won – I’ve sent you an email!
The winner shall be announced tomorrow (Monday) at 10am BST. Best of luck!

Card Jitsu Cards Giveaway Winner (16/03/20)
It’s time to announce the Card Jitsu cards giveaway winner from Monday! Whilst I will share the winner and answer, it is important that I address some of the concerns on how the giveaway shall operate.
Some countries are not operating a postal service currently due to the coronavirus outbreak. Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has advised that work should be conducted from home if possible, and that non-essential contact is unadvised. It is unclear if this applies to the postal service yet.
Government here is making daily updates to the situation – postal services have not been impacted yet, but this could easily change quickly Should the postal service of the United Kingdom or the postal service of the winner’s country be terminated, I will hold onto the prize. In other words, the winner will still get the prize, but only when it is possible for it to be posted. Unfortunately, that could be a very long time at this rate.
I think it’s important to clarify that as I know several are curious! As for the word search, the mascot hidden in it was Franky.
Everyone who correctly identified him had a chance of winning! 86% of entrants found the correct answer. Okay, now for the winner! As a reminder, the people who answered correctly are placed randomly in a list, and the top 50 on the list are placed on a wheel that is spun.
The winner of the giveaway is Meppurple. [screenshot]
Congratulations, I have sent you an email! If you didn’t win, don’t worry! There will be more giveaways in the future, but I cannot guarantee it will be immediately due to the outbreak.
Waddle on!

World Book Day Giveaway Winner
Hi everyone! I just wanted to provide a little update to the World Book Day Giveaway for the Secret Agent Handbook, by sharing the winner and the Bonus Answer!
As you may recall, the challenge was to find which of the three mazes could be completed. 80.4% of people correctly found it was only the Blue & Yellow mazes, and everyone who did received three bonus entries.
For those who are unaware, the way these giveaways usually work (and did for this one) was that I used a random number generator with all the entries, and then inserted them into a wheel. The wheel selected…Louise Frost! [screenshot]
Just a quick update that the giveaway winner has responded, so the prize has been sent! Don’t worry if you didn’t win, there’ll be plenty more chances in the future!
Congratulations, I have sent you an email! If you didn’t win, don’t worry; there’ll be plenty of more giveaways in the future, and of similar books if people are interested in them!
Waddle on!

Card Jitsu Cards Giveaway Winner (17/02/20)
I just wanted to make a quick post to share the winner of yesterday’s Card Jitsu giveaway! As you may remember, the entry question was a riddle.
Hover over my photo, and something shady shall show. Who am I though?
There were a lot of different answers, with “ninja” being a recurring one, but the answer is actually Aunt Arctic (The Director was fine too). Whilst “shady” denotes something dark, I thought it also worked nicely as it related to shades/glasses.
If you hover over Aunt Arctic in the newspaper, her glasses will turn shady.
Not many people entered compared to usual (I can only assume the riddle was quite difficult) so those who answered correctly stood a good chance of winning! The winner is…Tacocat54893! [screenshot]
Congratulations, I’ve sent you an email! To everyone else who entered, don’t worry, there’ll be another Card Jitsu giveaway next month, so good luck then!

Card Jitsu Cards Giveaway (20/01/20)
Welcome to the third day of Mountains Monday! As part of the schedule, today will be a Card Jitsu card giveaway, where you can win six cards.
I should note that these cards are physical ones, meaning they’ll be posted to your address. All of them are from the Water series, and for this week, they are:
- Bamboo Forest Sketch
- Elite Penguin Sketch
- Destroyed PSA HQ
- Ship Battle Adventure
- Squid Lid
- Puffle Washer (power card)
Condition: all cards in excellent condition! They’ll come loose.
The giveaway has now ended! As a reminder, the entry was Spot the Difference. I was very generous with marking, since it was clear when people spot the difference. I should note that several people mentioned a colour filter, but this was due to the image being compressed. There were six significant differences, so I didn’t count this.
First thing first, an apology. I accidentally closed this a day early, not realising the date. I’m genuinely sorry about this, I completely thought today was Wednesday
Two people found all the differences, though not many people entered at all, so there was a good chance of winning!
And now for the winner! As a reminder, how these work is after all the entires have been “calculated”, a list randomiser is used on the names. The first 50 names are then entered into a wheel, and whoever the wheel picks is the winner.
And the wheel has decided that winner is GraceLaughs! Congratulations, please check your email!
So a hopefully tricky Spot the Difference! As you may be able to tell with this giveaway, the emphasis is intended to be less on luck but more the question to enter, since you can get up to 10 entries by finding all the differences. This was by popular request, and I thought it’d be fun!
Best of luck!
