A multi-stage tech challenge combining cryptography, OSINT, web debugging, and physical hidden puzzles across campus. A mysterious developer has gone missing, leaving behind encrypted signals across the internet and university systems. Teams must decode clues, investigate digital trails, and solve challenges to trace their location and open the final gateway before time runs out.

Strange signals from Hawkins hint at disturbances from the Upside Down. In this puzzle-driven challenge, participants must decode hidden clues, uncover patterns, and use logic to progress through a chain of PC-based puzzles. But in Hawkins, progress isn’t always linear—one misstep may send you back through familiar paths. Stay sharp, break the loop, and escape this Recursion Hell.
