I just find it a bit od that you apparently can fiddle with the idol and get prizes without solving any puzzels.. hope it's a bug of some sort
The reason that happens is because the tiki idol code is how people on the Wii claim their prizes. It doesn't happen automatically for them like it does on the PC. It's in the treasure hunting FAQ.
Is it possible for people Wii treasure hunting to get stuff before PC users? 'Cause it seems to me the only thing separating them from getting ahead is the code, while PC users need the website.
Oh boy. I got the new four maps, but my amount of slots have shortened. I kind of wish I hadn't even tried it now; I made this mistake twice now. I wonder if I can get it reset and do it the normal way. -.-
It seems like every time someone says they got new maps I can't resist. I think I screwed up big also because two of the prizes were the same. -.-

It's just the same "follow the sounds" map puzzle for every single one, and 2 of the prizes are indeed the same. You didn't miss much.
How did you get two new maps? I still have 2 old ones.
I can't verify if you can do them on PC, I did them on Wii and unlocked them on the site and now the completed maps show up in my PC version, so I assume you just go into the game to do the new ones on PC.
I think we need an official clarification on how to unlock the new maps. Do we have to play around with the tiki code statue or is there another way because i don't want to mess up my chance at getting prizes just because i went fiddling with the tiki statue all willy-nilly.
Can you use the coupon code more than once... there are two games I want & well... it would be nice to be able to get them both... (Granted I don't think you should be able to use it more than twice.... don't take advantage of a good thing, because it could very well go away y'know)

I believe each coupon code is unique and only able to be used once, I could be wrong though as I haven't used my codes. (There's nothing on the Telltale store I haven't bought yet )

3 things.
1. I got a second *ahem* prize that eliminated this problem
2. Has anybody tested these codes to see if they work yet?
3. I love how 2 people can be at each other's throats in one thread but still be cool to each in another one.

Do we also get a discount when buying a whole season (iE Strong Bad Collectors DVD/ Bone Bundle) using this coupon code? Or do you have to buy only one single episode.

Edit: Oops, there's two coupons as prizes: One 50% off of a single episode, and one 50% off of a full season.
I've also been playing with the codes and have got a bunch more treasures - but my "available slots" has also got much shorter. Doing it this way also means that you don't need to do the in-game bit at all. My own fault really, but any chance of a "reset" button so we can do this properly if we want to when they're supposed to be available? :cool:
I am also a bit confused: Of course I could also start playing with the tiki: there are 4^3=64 possible combination only, so it should not take more than 10 minutes to try all of them. - However, that cannot be Telltale's intention how to do the treasure hunt; and it also is not any fun at all to do that. - So why do the "honest pirates" need to wait for the new maps to be officially released somewhere and somehow, while the "cheating pirates" can get their discount vouchers and other "treasures" already?
The tiki pole seems (in theory) like it's only supposed to be used by people using the Wii version. Since, without it, us PC users can't get access to maps after the first 2 I expect that they plan to "release" the maps online one-by-one during the season.
Which makes you wonder why they're available to "unlock" at all - I suspect it may be that because the Wii version can't link up to your account they've had to make them all available from the start.
If that's the case it still doesn't make sense that there are still some empty spaces that can't be filled at all. Unless I've missed some.

If I were you, I wouldn't question it. Don't bitch about a good thing or it will surely go away.
We need an official confirmation from the Telltale staff on how we are supposed to go about this. Oh Jake, we summon you like a spirit elemental to answer this pestering question else we continue asking it til the forums are over run with repetition(too late).
I've played around with the tikis too... Couldn't help it. All those years playing Indy games...
Well, main idea: I've "unlocked" maps but nothing happens. How did you guys manage to mess up your accounts?
The temptation of the tiki was too much for me to handle. I admit it. Maybe we should have some kind of AA meetings about this, since it's too addictive to quit.
is that all im meant to do?
whats this thing about going back to play tomi
At least with one of the maps, when you went in-game and hadn't fully unlocked it, and you clicked treasure hunt, you would get back to Flotsam Island and find a map in your inventory. When you open it and follow it, you would unlock that map and get a prize.
In hindsight, they probably should have locked the tiki codes until the corresponding maps were actually available, but it's probably too late for that now.

Heh yeah. Ah well good "lesson" for the developers
Has there been an official word on whether the difference in map numbers for Wii and PC is a bug? (i.e. a bug releasing too many maps for Wii, or a bug not releasing enough maps for PC.)

Go for seconds. Make it a gift to someone.
Actually there are 3.... trust me....
Is there an expiration date on the codes?
Alright, got it.
I would like to know this aswell, because i plan to use the season discount on Sam&Max Season 3, when it arrives.
Play with the tiki or just be patient.
