Event Details:
 

• Event Date: 19th - 22th March 2022
• Mode - Online

• There will be a total of 60 levels distributed over 4 days.
• 15 levels each will be presented on Day 1 to Day 4, with an additional question (Level 0) provided on Day 1.
• Base points for each level are calculated as follows:
  • Level 0 - 45: 200 points.
  • Level 46 - 60: 300 points.
• Participants must submit the correct answer to proceed to the next level.
• Bonus points will be awarded to the very first person who solves each level. All the other participants who solve the level will be awarded the base points alone.
• Bonus points are awarded as follows:
  • Level 0: No bonus points
  • Level 1 - 15: 10 bonus points
  • Level 16 - 30: 20 bonus points
  • Level 31 - 45: 30 bonus points
  • Level 46 - 60: 50 bonus points

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

At 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 it in the input box provided.

Judging Criteria:

• Participants will be ranked based on the points they score, and the scores will be displayed on the leaderboard.
• In the case of ties, the participant who has completed the most recent level will be given priority.
• In the case of further 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 entered in lowercase without punctuation or spaces. E.g., “Usain Bolt – 9.58” should be typed as “usainbolt958”.
• All decisions by the event managers are final and binding.

Problem Statement:
Find the answer keys to the next level from the present level, based on the clues given on the page, including images, audio/visual information, page URL, QR Codes, and the source code of the webpage. Additional hints will be provided by the moderators on the forum.

1) Who can participate in the event?

3) Where will I find clues?

4) What to do if I get stuck on a level?
Try to unearth all the clues. If you still feel stuck or have any queries about the level, feel free to clarify them on the forum. (Discussing or sharing answers/solutions will not be entertained).
5) What if the answers have more than one word?
The correct way to enter the answer is to type without spaces or punctuation between the words. All the answers should be in lowercase. E.g., If the answer is “Kyoto, Japan” you must enter the same as “kyotojapan” (without quotes).
6) What are the prerequisites I need?
