The ARGvent Calendar was created by the Game Detectives admins. It was a puzzle advent calendar, where a new puzzle was unlocked every day from December 1 - 25. As a reward for successfully completing puzzles, players were granted achievements on their Game Detectives profiles, as well as entries into the draw for miscellaneous Steam games.
On December 31, the puzzles were closed, and entries into the draw (as well as the ARGvent achievements) could no longer be obtained.
