From Portal to Witcher 3: The games people cheat at the most!
- Most people want to cheat at the ‘Corridors of time’ puzzle in Destiny 2 with 307,680 yearly Google searches for how to solve it.
- The game puzzle that takes the longest to complete (176.88 minutes on average – approximately 3 hours) is the ‘Water Temple’ in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- In second and third place are The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim specials, specifically the Volskygge puzzle that takes approximately 132.62 minutes to complete and the Fahlbtharz Boiler Room puzzle with 104.56 minutes to complete.
Video games are a great way to immerse yourself in a new reality. However, fun and adrenaline aside, certain quests can bring frustration and a high blood pressure too.
With that in mind, OnBuy Gaming sought to find out which popular game puzzles are the hardest to beat and which ones do people cheat the most at. To do so, they tested 2,700 participants on their puzzle-solving skills.
What game puzzle do people cheat at the most?
After many failed attempts at beating a quest, some players decide to take the easy road and ask Google for advice.
Search volume data shows a whopping 307,680 yearly searches for how to beat the ‘Corridors of time’ puzzle in Destiny 2. It is safe to say most people get triggered when they see a hexagon after finishing this quest.
If you’re not good with riddles, then the Magic Lamp part of the Witcher 3 will prove very difficult. In fact, there are 273,240 Googles searches for how to solve this riddle. At least we had Kiera with us to translate it from the elven language.
In third and fourth place we have The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim puzzles in Volskygge and the Fahlbtharz Boiler Room, with 260,880 and 198,960 Googles searches, respectively.
At the other end of the spectrum, we have the Piano Puzzle in Silent Hill, with 31,320 Google searches from people who want to cheat the game.
Whilst considered as one of the hardest gaming puzzles by players, there are only 50,556 Google searches for how to beat Chamber 18 in Portal.
What game puzzles take the longest to beat?
The puzzle that gives gamers the greatest headache is the ‘Water Temple’ in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Over 20 years old, this puzzle still confuses people, and takes an average of 176.88 minutes to complete – that’s approximately 3 hours!
In second and third place are some of The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim specials, more exactly the Volskygge puzzle, that takes the average Joe (or Joanne) approximately 132.62 minutes to complete and the Fahlbtharz Boiler Room with 104.56 minutes to complete.
At the other end, we have another classic puzzle found in the King’s Quest. Finding out the gnome’s name took our players an average of 14.72 minutes. (SPOILER: correct answer is ifnkovhgroghprm – or Nikstlitselpmur for friends).
The Pumpkin Puzzle in Borderlands 3 was another one fairly easy to beat, taking players approximately 18.24 minutes to pull the skulls in the right order.

NASCAR and nVenue, Bring Groundbreaking Live Probabilities to In-Season Challenge Broadcast for Fans Watching Live Racing

The past month marked a pivotal moment in NASCAR’s push toward innovation as NASCAR and nVenue worked to deliver a new way to watch the race. Using nVenue’s in-race betting product to focus on head-to-head matchups, nVenue’s real-time predictive probabilities for each matchup were integrated into the race broadcast.
NASCAR and nVenue have worked together since 2023 and recently reached a multi-year agreement to extend their partnership. As a data partner, nVenue has built a live betting product that allows fans to bet on hundreds of markets during races. nVenue worked with NASCAR to build out live head-to-head markets for each matchup of the In-Season Challenge.
nVenue integrated its proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning platform for live sports with the In-Season Challenge broadcasts. The integration kicked off during the opening race of the In-Season Challenge and continued throughout the Challenge, delivering a new level of real-time insight directly into the broadcast experience.
At the same time, fans across the world were able to place bets in real-time on head-to-head driver matchups, stage winners, and dozens of new in-race markets, marking a historic first for the sport.
Behind the scenes, nVenue’s commitment to execution was on full display. Co-Founder and Chief Sports Officer, Bruce Sears, was in the production control room for the opening race, working hand-in-hand with multiple teams and resources required to bring the integration to the air.
“nVenue has been a fantastic data partner. One of the great things about nVenue’s partnership is in addition to the live betting product it has built, nVenue has the ability to turn odds into probabilities that can be shown on live broadcasts to further promote fan engagement. This lined up well with the format of the In-Season Challenge, allowing us to provide fans with a way to follow the live probabilities of each matchup throughout every lap of the race,” said Joe Solosky, NASCAR, Managing Director, Sports Betting.
“nVenue’s real-time predictive probabilities came to life during live NASCAR racing to provide a richer experience of the sport, for fans watching, betting, or both. The nVenue platform meets the incredibly demanding speed and precision required for motorsports, but also sets a new standard for fan engagement and in-race betting. It’s a testament to our team’s unparalleled expertise in bringing such complex, data-driven innovation to market at scale. Innovation has only just begun, and we are excited to continue this work with leagues, media, and sports betting to bring these worlds together for the best experiences in live sports,” said Sears.
With broadcast, betting, and data now converging on race day, this collaboration between NASCAR and nVenue is signaling the future of how fans engage with the sport, one lap at a time.
