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

SKILL

CTF challenges, hackathons, and debates that separate the exceptional from the merely adequate.

Gaming Arena

COMBAT

Valorant and BGMI tournaments. May the most tactical minds prevail. Or the luckiest.

Mystery System

INTRIGUE

QR-based puzzles, cryptic riddles, and dark rewards. Because participation should have consequences.

Grand Finale

CLIMAX

Project exhibitions, awards, and a DJ night. We end things with a controlled explosion of celebration.

FAQ

"I'll only answer questions once. Pay attention."

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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).

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.

Investigation Findings:

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.
