Hackathon

About the game

Teams of extremely skilled hackers are gathered in a room for the absolute hacking showdown! Your goal is to hack the code that unlocks the safety box with the grand prize!

To achieve that, you will have to apply all your intelligence and imagination to solve the most exciting riddles — and do it better than the rest of the teams.

Characteristics

Hackathon is played in three rounds:

Introduction: our Game Master presents the game, informing the teams about the rules and the technologies involved. The introduction gets everyone ready and "psyched" for the upcoming contest. The teams receive a booklet full of riddles and small tasks, register on the game's platform, and prepare to send answers to the scoring system.

Semifinal round: the conference room turns into a huge hacking hive! Teams form strategies to tackle as many riddles as possible. As answers roll in, a cipher code is revealed, the score of the teams is projected live in the room, and encrypted messages need to be addressed. At the end of this round, the best teams progress into the final.

Final round: the finalists compete on a single riddle that reveals the safety box's code, trying to extract it out of a tangram shape. Those who didn't make the final have a second chance to win a prize by betting their round-one points on the finalists. The team that cracks the safety box code is the champion!
