Something happened at Nevermore.

A ritual was discovered. Evidence was left behind. Witnesses don't agree. Somewhere within the Academy lies a truth someone desperately wants to keep hidden.

The Nevermore Inquest is a story-driven forensic investigation competition inspired by the mysterious world of Wednesday and Nevermore Academy.

This is not a conventional quiz, CTF, or escape room. Across multiple rounds, teams will investigate, observe, connect clues, test their reasoning, and uncover a mystery that will not reveal itself easily.

But remember:

Not every clue is true. Not every story is complete. And not every piece of evidence can be trusted.

What Awaits You?

️ Round 1 - the Investigation:

Enter the Mystery. Follow the Trail, Observe Carefully and Uncover the First Pieces of The Case.

Round 2 - the Evidence:

The Pieces Begin to Connect. Investigate What You Find, Question What Seems Obvious, and Determine What Deserves to Be Trusted.

️The Final Round - the Hollow Court:

The Evidence You've Gathered Will Face Its Final Test. Your Conclusions Will Be Questioned, Challenged, and Defended.

The Details of Each Challenge Will Remain Hidden until The Investigation Begins.

️What You'll Need:

• Sharp Observation
• Logical Thinking
• Teamwork
• Memory
• Critical Thinking
• Evidence-Based Reasoning

You Don't Need to Be a Forensic Expert. You Just Need to Notice What Others Miss.
