AlgoHunt
A physical-digital contest where algorithms unlock checkpoints, clues, and leaderboard momentum across campus.
Campus checkpoints and clue drops
AlgoHunt • Visual Archive
AlgoHunt transforms competitive programming into a high-octane physical reality. It demands a unique hybrid of rapid code execution, team communication under pressure, and physical stamina. AlgoHunt tests not just how well you know Dijkstra's algorithm, but how fast your team can debug it while racing against the clock to the next checkpoint.
Event Timeline
The journey and history of AlgoHunt.
Check-in & Breakfast
Participants arrive, verify their registration, collect their badges, and get energized with a hearty breakfast before the intense competition begins.
Key Details
Opening Ceremony & Problem Release
The official kickoff. We will explain the rules, introduce the judges, and reveal the primary encrypted problem statement that unlocks the first physical checkpoint.
Key Details
Checkpoint 1: The Cryptography Node
Teams disperse across campus to their first physical node. They must decrypt a cipher to unlock the next GPS coordinates.
Key Details
Lunch & Networking
A mandatory cool-down period where teams can refuel, discuss strategies with mentors, and check the global standings.
Checkpoint 2: The Hardware Node
The final sprint. Teams must interface their laptops with custom ESP32 hardware modules placed around the campus to execute their final algorithms.
