Treasure Hunt: Nexgenai 2026
Ramco Institute of Technology
📌 About the Event
The Treasure Hunt at Nexgenai 2026 is an interactive, fast paced non-technical challenge organized by Ramco Institute of Technology. This isn’t just a race of speed; it is a test of observation, lateral thinking, and collaborative decision-making. Teams are dropped into a series of interconnected checkpoints where solving one cryptic clue unlocks the location of the next. It aims to challenge the analytical minds of students by forcing them to apply “search algorithms” and logical deduction to the physical world, all while navigating the unique layout of the RIT campus.

💡 Rules of Engagement for the RIT Campus
To ensure a fair and safe race, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Lead Liaison: Designate one person as the Point of Contact to communicate with the organizers.
- Respect the Space: Do not damage college property or disturb ongoing classes/staff while searching for “the treasure.”
- No Shortcuts: Teams must visit every checkpoint in order. Skipping a location or clue will result in disqualification.
- Observation is Key: Clues are often hidden in plain sight. Look for architectural details or campus signage that might fit the riddle’s description.
