·  The participants' aim is to crack the levels as quickly as they can so as to place themselves on the top of the leaderboard.

·  At each level, the participants will encounter a number of clues which shall all, together, point to one answer. Each level has one and only one correct answer, which must be entered into the textbox at the level in order to move to the next level.

·  Clues may be presented in a number of forms, including, but not limited to the: Level Title, Page Source, Anything that's on the screen.

·  Additional clues will be released 72 hours after the leader(s) has/have been stuck on a level in order to allow those who are lagging behind to catch up.

·  The participants may look for answers anywhere on the internet. Recommended sites: Google, Wikipedia, TinEye.

·  Answers will always be lower-case, alphanumeric and will contain no spaces, unless stated otherwise. E.g. if the answer to Level 0 is "Hello World", input "helloworld".

·  Don't ignore any of the clues. If they weren't important, they wouldn't be there.
