Bug Hunter Challenge

Halloween Edition

Are you brave enough to join our spooky challenge and end the hocus pocus?

_____________________________

Since Halloween, some hocus pocus is going on, but if you manage to solve this trick to find as many correct bugs as possible and are cracking a new high score, you will have the chance to win a gift card at Amazon worth 100€. Make this your sweetest Halloween ever!

The challenge:

  • Developers have created a breakout game but since Halloween, several bugs have found their way into the code. They are experiencing weird behaviors now, as if the gaming application has been charmed... 
  • It is now your job to help us end this hocus pocus and to use your exploratory skills to test this web application based on the shown requirements and find as many bugs as you can within 5 minutes.
  • The clock will count down and be visible during the exercise. 

Rules:

  • You can exit the exercise and proceed straight the next one whenever you feel ready (within the limit of 5 minutes).
  • Whithin the time, you have to state which bugs you have found. 
  • For each correct answer, you will be rewarded with 5-15 points.
  • For each false answer, your total score will be deducted with 5-15 points.
  • The amount of time left after completing the exercise will determine your place on the leaderboard in case you have the same high score as somebody else. The more time left, the better chance of winning.

To get you started right away, and give you some hints on where to start, a couple of requirements will be visible during the exercise.

We recommend to join the challenge on your desktop / notebook instead of participating with your mobile phone.

Good luck and happy bug hunting!
