Beginners especially welcome, the hotel certainly didn't hire experts...
The Hacker Holiday is your free, beginner-friendly gateway into cyber security
Every afternoon at 4PM UTC, a new room opens inside the hotel. Each one is a self-contained hacking challenge: OSINT, web exploitation, cloud security, forensics, AI prompt attacks. The difficulty starts at beginner and works its way up. You don't need experience, just curiosity. Along the way you'll cross paths with guests who are definitely hiding something, a resort IT guy who's convinced the whole place is compromised, and VERA, an AI concierge who remembers everything about everyone. Every room you complete earns you a ticket into the $50,000+ prize draw. If you get stuck, creators are posting walkthroughs throughout the event.
