Welcome to the 2024 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge: Snow-maggeddon!
Greetings, holiday travelers! Welcome to the 2024 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge.
As you explore Christmas Island and the North Pole, make sure you stop by the elf Jingle Ringford along the way. He’ll give you your orientation and snowball badge. Your snowball badge on the center of your avatar will be populated with a series of objectives for the Holiday Hack Challenge. Just click on your badge to see your objectives and more.
Also, please do keep an eye on your badge for updates on the narrative and various happenings around Christmas Island and the North Pole during the event!
Here are some tips to get you exploring:
- Bounce around the environment using the mouse or the arrow keys.
- Enter doors by using the up arrow key.
- Pick up items by stepping on them.
- Join us on Discord!
- Use the Settings button to adjust the volume of the music, sound effects, ambient noise, and elf dialog.
- Use the menu at the top right to access your profile and edit your avatar, log out, or mute the music (who would ever want to do that?!?!).
- Have fun!
