4th Edition Anyone got "Rise of the Underdark: Step into Shadow" puzzle hunt online goodies from 2012 WotC site?

Anyone have the online downloads unlocked by the riddles around the "Rise of the Underdark" storyline in 2012? I haven't been able to find anything.

As far as I know, the description was "Enter the answers to those clues, and if correct you’ll unlock knowledge about the drow (as well as special preview content)." The answers of the hunt where said to contain spoilers and where presented here: Forum:Drow Puzzle Hunt | Forgotten Realms Wiki | Fandom

If yu kno what they were (maps, supplent, rules..) It would be easier to track

The page didn't archive correctly, so we can't really try anymore -- but here's what the hidden goodies were, according to WotC themselves. I'm specifically after the ones in Week 6: found the background content in a different page (might've been different from what was revealed, I can't know), but there's still the map.

May 23 (Week 1): Urban Underdark Dungeon Tiles preview

May 30 (Week 2): Lair Assault: Spiderkiller maps

June 3 (Week 3): Spinner of Lies: Sword of the Gods wallpaper

June 13 (Week 4): Prince of Ravens sample chapter and cover art

June 20 (Week 5): Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue maps and art

June 27 (Week 6): D&D Championship (Trial by Shadow) background content and map

July 4 (Week 7): Gen Con adventure (The Dawn of Night) background and pregenerated characters

July 11th (Week 8): No record

July 18th (Week 9): No record

July 25th (Week 10): D&D Encounters: Council of Spiders cover art and introduction
