Swiss Hacking Challenge Finals 2025

For two days, the finalists met at Startklar in Emmen. On the first day, the players got assigned to a team and had to compete in a jeopardy CTF.

On the second day, the participants could relax a bit, talk to the others that qualified and got assigned specific topics that they needed to draw. Once completed, the painting was passed to the next person in the group, that then had to draw something else onto the existing picture.

Team Havoc has won the finals with 4712 points, followed by Team Zephyr and Team Axon that shared 3840 points and had a tie break based on the last submission time. Last but not least, Team Genesis reached 2968 points! The teams definetly didn’t have it easy, as even the medium rated challenges were all but medium in difficulty.
