TECHGYANATHON
"I'm not antisocial. I'm selectively social. There's a difference."
— Wednesday Addams
The Investigation Begins
"I find social media to be a soulless void of meaningless validation."
Case Brief
Techgyanathon is not your typical technical festival. It's a three-day descent into the darkest corners of technology, competition, and controlled chaos. Think of it as Nevermore Academy, but instead of psychic visions, we have code that actually works. Sometimes.
The Premise
We've taken the aesthetic sensibilities of Wednesday Addams — the sharp edges, the monochromatic palette, the delightful disdain for mediocrity — and applied them to a tech fest. The result? An event so uniquely unsettling that even Thing would give us a standing ovation. If he could stand.
What Awaits
Competitive coding that will test your sanity. Gaming tournaments where only the ruthless survive. Mysterious puzzles scattered across the venue. And a DJ night finale that proves even we know how to have fun. In our own peculiar way.
Technical Competitions
SKILLCTF challenges, hackathons, and debates that separate the exceptional from the merely adequate.
Gaming Arena
COMBATValorant and BGMI tournaments. May the most tactical minds prevail. Or the luckiest.
Mystery System
INTRIGUEQR-based puzzles, cryptic riddles, and dark rewards. Because participation should have consequences.
Grand Finale
CLIMAXProject exhibitions, awards, and a DJ night. We end things with a controlled explosion of celebration.

How It Works
For visitors and non-competing participants
The Cryptic QR Hunt
Scattered across the venue are QR codes. Each reveals a riddle, a puzzle, or a dark task. Solve them to accumulate points.
Investigative Challenges
Channel your inner Wednesday. Observe, deduce, uncover. Some mysteries require sharp eyes and sharper minds.
Dark Humor Tasks
Complete peculiar tasks around the venue. They may seem absurd. That's intentional.
The Process

"I'll only answer questions once. Pay attention."
A 3-day technical festival combining competitions, gaming tournaments, workshops, and a mysterious engagement system. Think of it as a tech conference designed by someone who finds regular tech conferences insufferably cheerful.
Anyone with a pulse and an interest in technology. Students, professionals, enthusiasts, and the mildly curious are all welcome. We don't discriminate based on skill level, only based on enthusiasm for mediocrity (which we discourage).
Visitors can explore the venue, participate in the QR mystery hunt, visit photo booths, and attend the DJ night. Participants get all visitor benefits PLUS eligibility to compete in events and win prizes. Choose based on your appetite for competition.
QR codes are hidden throughout the venue. Scan them to reveal riddles, puzzles, or tasks. Complete them to earn points. Exchange points at the Redemption Center for Wednesday-themed merchandise. It's like a treasure hunt, but with more existential dread.
A valid ID for registration verification. Your registered QR code (digital or printed). Laptop if participating in CTF. Team coordination devices. A tolerance for dark humor. Optional: Gothic attire for photo opportunities.
Yes. The Sponsor Pavilion includes food stalls. Various options available. We cannot guarantee the food will be as dark as our aesthetic, but we can guarantee it will be edible. Mostly.
Yes, but we strongly recommend pre-registration. On-site registration may have limited slots and longer queues. Plus, pre-registered participants get their cryptic QR passes in advance. Planning ahead is Wednesday-approved behavior.
We don't do refunds. Much like Wednesday's commitment to her projects, once you're in, you're in. However, registrations are transferable to another person with prior notification.
Individual registration. During registration, you'll specify your team name and team members. Each team member must register individually. We'll match you up based on the information provided.
Email us at techgyanathon@nevermore.edu or DM us on Instagram. We respond to queries with the efficiency of Thing delivering mail. Usually within 24-48 hours. Unless it's a particularly trivial question, in which case we may respond with appropriate deadpan sarcasm.
