Treasure Hunt

      The Treasure Hunt event, hosted by the Department of Computer Engineering at SVKM's Institute of Technology, Dhule, in association with the SVKM IoT ACM and ACES Student Chapter, aimed to boost analytical thinking and team coordination among students in an energetic, gamified setting. Teams comprised of 2–4 members each from different academic years enthusiastically registered to compete in multiple stages featuring encrypted clues, logical puzzles, and physical tasks.

      Each stage tested different aspects of critical thinking and strategy, culminating in a final challenge that led to the discovery of the 'treasure'. Volunteers and coordinators ensured smooth conduct throughout the event, assisting participants and maintaining fair play. In the end, the top three teams were awarded e-certificates and ACM-branded goodies, while all participants received digital participation certificates in recognition of their enthusiasm and problem-solving spirit.

• Clue-Based Adventure:  Teams will unravel a series of cryptic puzzles and location-based clues across the campus.

• Team Strategy & Collaboration:  Encourages coordination, communication, and quick decision-making under time pressure.

• Time-Bound Challenge:  A thrilling race against the clock to find hidden “treasures” and complete bonus tasks.

• Exciting Rewards:  Top teams win attractive prizes, certificates, and bragging rights as campus treasure champions.

      The success of this event is attributed to the unwavering support of the faculty and the enthusiastic efforts of the student coordinators. Organized by the SVKMIOT ACM Student Chapter, the event was conducted under the valuable guidance of Prof. Khalid Alfatmi and Dr. Makarand Shahade . Student coordinators Gaurav Power and Sagar Patil played a key role in planning and managing the event, ensuring its smooth and effective execution.
