Logic Loot Hunt: The Ultimate Coding Treasure Quest:

• Logic Loot Hunt is an immersive technical treasure hunt combining mystery-solving with coding, logical reasoning, and analytical problem-solving.
• Conducted as part of INNOVATEX 4.0, participants navigate multiple stages of cleverly designed clues, puzzles, and algorithmic tasks.
• Teams decode clues, solve logical riddles, and complete short coding challenges to unlock the next checkpoint, ultimately leading to the final treasure.
• The event evaluates problem-solving abilities, programming fundamentals, pattern recognition, and teamwork.
• Difficulty increases progressively, requiring precision, speed, and strategic collaboration.
• The final stage features a complex challenge whose solution determines the ultimate winners.
• Logic Loot Hunt strengthens skills relevant to engineering, software development, and technical problem-solving.

Guidelines:

Eligibility:

• Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students from recognized colleges.
• Students from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Information Technology, and related domains are encouraged to participate.
• Participants must carry a valid college ID card.

Team Composition:

• Team size: 2–3 members.
• Inter-college and inter-specialization teams allowed.
• Each participant can be part of only one team.
• Teams must remain together throughout the event.

Competition Format:

• Structured as a multi-level technical treasure hunt.
• Teams solve clues sequentially to progress.
• Each level reveals a new clue or puzzle that must be solved before advancing.

Event Flow:

Level-Based Treasure Hunt

• Teams receive the first clue at the beginning of the event.
• Solving a clue unlocks the next checkpoint or challenge.
• Levels increase in difficulty.
• The final level contains a high-complexity problem determining the winning team.
• The team completing all levels and reaching the final solution first will be declared the winner.
• Time-bound event; penalties may apply for incorrect submissions.

Types of Challenges:

• Logic puzzles
• Cryptographic ciphers
• QR code scanning clues
• Pattern or sequence analysis
• Short coding problems
• Algorithm-based mini challenges
• Hidden message decoding
• Challenges test algorithms, data structures, computational logic, and analytical reasoning.

Design / Technical Specifications:

• Clues are provided at each round or checkpoint.
• Solving the current clue is mandatory to proceed.
• Teams must stay together throughout the event.
• Internet or mobile usage is prohibited unless explicitly permitted.
• Sharing hints or assisting other team leads to disqualification.
• Tampering with clues or checkpoints is prohibited.

Submission & Progression:

• Each clue is validated by event proctors or organizers.
• Once verified, the team receives the next clue or location.
• Teams must solve challenges within the allotted time.

Fair Play & Conduct:

• Sharing answers or hints between teams is prohibited.
• Tampering with clues or event materials is prohibited.
• Skipping or bypassing checkpoints is prohibited.
• Seeking unauthorized external assistance is prohibited.
• Violations result in immediate disqualification.
• Participants must maintain professional and respectful conduct.

Proctoring & Monitoring:

• Event proctors stationed at clue points to ensure smooth conduct.
• Proctors validate answers, monitor progress, and ensure rule compliance.
• Participants must follow all instructions from proctors and organizers.

Technical Issues:

• Report any technical problems immediately to organizers.
• Organizers verify the issue.
• Additional time may be granted only if confirmed as system-related.

Judging Criteria:

• Number of successfully solved levels
• Accuracy of solutions
• Speed of completion
• Strategic teamwork and problem-solving
• The first team to reach the final solution with valid answers will be declared the winner.
• Judges’ and organizers’ decisions are final and binding.
