Description

Participants can join the arena with their team of 4. Only one person at a time can pick the locks.

We work with a slot system. You sign up your team for your 15 minutes, if you're late you will loose your slot. This is to be fair to your and our time. Signup at https://framadate.org/lockpickchallengeulb2020. Sign up with the name of your team.

Each team will be presented with 3 locks. 1 lock will need to be picked, one lock will need to be raked and one lock is a combination lock. If you abuse the lock picks, you will be asked to stop in order not to damage the lock or the picks.

Each team gets a maximum 15 minutes. It is up to the student to decide how they spread the time.

The team that wins will need to pick the most locks in the shortest time possible.

Everyone has their chances. Last year, the winning team had never picked a lock in their life.
