 Labyrinth is an online cryptic treasure hunt that tests your technical and analytical skills.

This event will require immense general knowledge, prowess over the art of decoding clues, and a lot of common sense, coupled with a faithful internet connection.

The participants will have to navigate their way through a series of cryptic levels of increasing difficulty, testing various skills to gain points.

In each level, clues will be hidden in the webpage itself. All you need to do is find the clues and the answer that relates all the clues and enter your answer in the input box provided.

  • Submit the correct answer to proceed to the next level.

  • Bonus points will be awarded to the person who solves the clues first.

  • Players will be ranked based on the points they score.

  • Points are calculated as follows :      

  • Solving a level (till level 50) awards the player with 200 points.

  • The first player to crack a level gets bonus points. Everyone else gets the base 200 points only.

  • Levels 51+ don’t award bonus points when solved first but instead offer 400 points to every player who solves them.

  • Bonus points are awarded as follows :

  •          Level 0: No bonus points
  •          Level 1 - 20: 10 bonus points
  •          Level 21 - 30: 20 bonus points
  •          Level 31 - 40: 30 bonus points
  •          Level 41 - 50: 50 bonus points

 

        Judging Criteria:

  • Players are ranked in order of the points they score.

  • In case of ties, the participant who has completed the most recent level will be given priority.

 

 

  • In the case of ties, the player who cracks the latest level first will be ranked first (the timestamps will be in milliseconds to reduce the chances of any ties).

  • All the answers should be in lowercase without punctuation. E.g., “Asphalt’s-123” should be typed as “asphalts123”.

  • All decisions by the event managers are final and binding.
