About this hackathon
About the Event
Think a hackathon is just pick a problem, open your laptop, and start coding? Think again. Welcome to Zero Hour — a hackathon where coding is only part of the game. You will have to code, adapt, communicate, make quick decisions, and keep your team moving when things stop going according to plan. The question is simple: When the clock hits zero, will your team have what it takes to survive?
Event Format & Process
Duration: 3 hours of intense building and adapting.
Team Size: 4 members per team.
Kickoff: Teams will choose a mystery theme and race to build a working technical solution before time runs out.
The Gauntlets: Just when you find your rhythm, 3 surprise challenges will be introduced. These are assigned to 3 different team members. Every Gauntlet is timed, every point matters, and your team’s final score depends on how well each member performs during their turn.
The Final Push: Submit your solution, face the judges, and defend what you built.
Rules
Teams must consist of exactly 4 members.
No hiding behind the strongest coder—at least 3 different team members must participate in the Gauntlet challenges.
Solutions must be built within the 3-hour timeframe; no extra time will be provided.
