Welcome to the 2022 Steam Summer Sale, or rather the Steam 3000 Summer Sale. This year’s theme comes from the future! Complete the Clorthax Paradox scavenger hunt quest to boast a new fun profile badge and other profile awards.

Unfortunately, the instructions on completing the scavenger hunt aren’t explained very well, at least in any way we’ve seen. Don’t worry, we’ll go over what the answers to the clues are and how to get credit for solving the clues below.

Besides getting your profile awards, don’t hesitate to pick up those deeply discounted games from your wishlist!

How to Complete the 2022 Steam Summer Sale Clues

After reading your clue and clicking the Go Find It button, you will be redirected to the category page to find the game entry. In order to complete the clues, you must find the game entry and click on the game card to receive credit.

You can NOT search for the entry to get credit. If you search the Steam store and click on the game entry from the search box, Steam will redirect to the Clorthax Paradox Party Badge page WITHOUT giving you credit.

Tips to Find the Game Entry

On the category page, quickly scroll down to see if the game is on the main category page. Be sure to look near the bottom for upcoming releases, named Coming Soon. This is where the game entries will be most of the time.

Even if you forget the name of the game title you’re currently looking for, keep an eye out for the price CL.0R TH.4X. This will be the hint that this is the entry you’re looking for.

If you don’t see the game entry, click on the sub category buttons next to Featured and quickly scroll down to look again.

Conclusion

This year’s summer sale event was an interesting theme, definitely a little weird. Actually, it’s weird as hell. We still have nothing but love for the new Steam Community Manager as this probably took a long time to develop.

Be sure to get your Clorthax’s Paradox Party Badge and appropriate cards and profile awards before the sale ends on July 7, 2022. These sales typically last 2 weeks and this one is no exception. Increase your game backlog while you’re at it!
