Megabyte co-organised this inter-house event, which saw over 300 participants from across houses and grades in a closely-fought contest. Houses worked together to tackle cryptic puzzles, with topics ranging from technology to encryption to pop culture.

The event consisted of an online phase, which lasted from 19th May to 22nd May, and an offline phase, which took place during school hours on the 24th of May. Based on a weighted sum of offline and online phase points, and the time taken to complete questions in the offline phase of the event, the final standings were:

1. Srishti House
2. Sagar House
3. Himgiri House
4. Vasundhara House

The winners of the ‘Most Valuable Player’ award were:

1. Dhruv Aggarwal [Himgiri House]
2. Abir Vohra [Srishti House]
3. Sumair Ahuja [Sagar House]

Special mentions were awarded to:
