Songbird is excited to announce our first-ever Lynx contest is open until March 31, 2022! If you are a fan of the Lynx game Unnamed published by Songbird last year, then you’re in for a real treat. We are offering THREE limited edition Unnamed Champions physical Lynx cartridges as prizes. That’s right, you can win one of three very unique Lynx carts. Each cart will contain a list of the three winners plus a special bonus stage mini-game similar to the puzzles found in the original Unnamed cartridge. Read on if you’d like to learn more about the contest and find out how to play!

Limitation of Liability
By submitting a contest entry as described below, you agree to abide by the rules and results as solely determined by the contest organizer, Songbird Productions. Furthermore, by participating in this contest, you agree to release and hold harmless Songbird Productions and all its affiliates against all claims and liabilities.
How to Play
Four contest questions are presented below. These questions all pertain to the Lynx game “Unnamed” which was released in March 2021 by Songbird Productions. You can learn more about the game on the Songbird website. Each contestant must answer these questions, and submit the contest entry by sending exactly one email to sales@songbird-productions.com containing their answers using the entry format shown below. Limit one entry per household.
Contest Questions:
- Lonely Bard: How many songs (or distinct song variations) are present in Unnamed?
Hint: Don’t overthink this one, as it’s meant to be straightforward. It’s more than one song, and fewer than 10. If you’ve heard a song, you’ve heard it; there are not one or two changed notes you need to pick out. In fact, to make this contest question simpler, there are two answers Songbird will accept as valid. - Journalist: Reveal the location of the new note in game+.
Hint: If you’ve played through game+, this should be easy. No need to describe the entire room or area in detail. Instead, just describe the spot where the new note can be found. Is it next to, on, in, or under something? Short answer is fine for this one. - Cheat Death: Die at least 3 different ways in the game and provide evidence (screenshots or written summary of what you did).
Hint: There is only one “easy” way to die in the game, which involves a ghost. To make this contest question easier, you can use this “easy” death up to two times, as long as you describe each room or area where it occurred.
Hint: The other ways to die require creative use of your equipment. Consider how you use each item in the game for its intended purpose, then think about other ways you could combine those items with a new location or environment for disastrous effects. Note that some equipment may be consumed or is otherwise unavailable after certain checkpoints in the game. - Impossible Mission: get stuck in a spot where it becomes impossible to complete the game, and describe what you did.
Hint: When we say “impossible to complete the game”, we mean during your current session, you can no longer go backwards to most previous areas nor can you advance in your current area. This is not the same as simply getting stuck and not knowing how to proceed. Rather, you have done something to alter the game such that you either need to restart the game from the beginning, or (if you’re lucky) restart from a save point before you got into that sticky situation.
