Alice in Borderland: ZYRON’26
Saveetha Engineering College
📌 About the Event
Alice in Borderland at ZYRON’26 is a high stakes, multi stage strategy competition organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Saveetha Engineering College. Moving away from traditional paper and pen tests, this event immerses participants in a series of “Games” categorized by Suits: Diamonds (Intelligence), Spades (Physical/Agility), Clubs (Teamwork), and Hearts (Psychological). It aims to identify the most versatile engineering minds those who can remain calm under artificial pressure, solve complex spatial puzzles, and outmaneuver opponents using mathematical game theory. It is the ultimate test of character and cognitive flexibility in the symposium.
