Quiz for the Quixotic
This event is for school students and consists of three rounds. The first two rounds will be written rounds conducted via Google Forms. The highest-scoring participants from each round will qualify for further rounds. The final round will be conducted as a live online event.

Lit Maze
This is a group event (teams participate in pairs) that will have three rounds. The first round is to solve a puzzle (the puzzle contains a famous literary character) and identify the literary work. The second round is to identify the mythical creatures found in literary works. Here, a PPT will be prepared with one mythical character on each slide (pictures or features of the mythical character will be given). Participants must identify the characters and they will be assessed based on the time that each group takes to complete it. The last round is to identify the literary work and the author using the clues provided. Here too, a PPT will be prepared containing different clues (quotes, images, character names, plot, etc.), and the participants will be given access to the PPT. They must identify the literary work and the author from the given clues.
