Opportunity brief
The fortress has been rebuilt. But a fortress is only as strong as the people defending it.
AEGIS didn't fall because it had no defenders. It fell because someone reused a password. Someone clicked a phishing link. Someone skipped an update. Someone shared credentials.
Four small mistakes. One collapsed wall. Now, your team has been called to defend the fortress.
Snap Chain is a team-based cybersecurity relay challenge where every player becomes one link in the defence chain. Four players take on four different challenges, and every challenge must be completed correctly to keep the chain intact. Because in cybersecurity, one weak link can compromise everything.
Round 1 - Obstacle Navigation
- Challenge: The first player must balance a ball on an inverted cup while navigating through a course filled with cones and obstacles. One mistake can slow the entire team down.
- Speed matters, but control matters more.
Round 2 - String Pull Balance
- Challenge: The player must control a ball balanced on an inverted cup using attached strings. Every movement must be carefully coordinated to keep the ball from falling.
- Your hands and your control are the only defence.
Round 3 - Cup Pyramid Stack
- Challenge: The player must unstack a cup pyramid one cup at a time using an inverted cup with a ball balanced on top. As the pyramid comes down, the tower in hand gets taller - and the ball gets harder to balance.
- A single wobble can bring it all down.
Round 4 - Sequence Breaker
- Challenge: A player holds a cardboard board with numbered cups placed around it. The team receives a code and must tilt the board to roll the ball into each numbered cup in the exact order, bringing it back to the centre after every cup. Miss the sequence or drop the ball? A penalty awaits.
Note: Incorrect attempts add a penalty.
