Rules

Circuit Scavenger Hunt Guidelines

  • Each team must have 3 members.
  • The hunt has two phases: first, find all components using a given clue, and second, build a circuit provided by the judges.
  • All teams will start at the same location.
  • Teams must show their solved task to a volunteer at each clue location before getting the next clue.
  • Clues must be solved in the correct order.
  • If a team gets stuck, they can ask for a hint, but it will add a 1-minute penalty to their total time.
  • Each clue must be solved within 5 minutes, or a penalty will apply.
  • Teams are not allowed to touch or move lab equipment unnecessarily while searching.
  • In the final phase, teams should only use the collected items to build the circuit.
  • The winner will be the team with the lowest total time and penalties.
  • Outside help, mobile phones, and internet usage are strictly prohibited.
  • The judges' decision is final and binding.
