Dare to Enter The Matrix? The GopherCon 2025 Challenge Series Awaits

Are you ready to be transported to a digital realm so convincing that you may never want to leave? Or can you? Perhaps you’ll be trapped inside this simulated reality as the machines harvest your human bioelectric energy. Choose the red pill and you may just discover truths so shocking that they’ll leave you thinking... “woah!”.

This year’s theme unfolds inside The Matrix and the world portrayed within. As the war rages on, join the rebellion and discover who your adversaries are while forging new allies. As you unlock your potential with each new achievement, you may manage to escape the bonds of this simulated world and help liberate your fellow humans while qualifying for a part of the lucrative bounty of $10k in prizes.

Along the way, you will compete against programs and hackers alike on your path to becoming… The One! With a combination of updated puzzles as well as brand new ones, the Challenge Series still stands to teach competitors -- from the Neophyte to the most Oracular in their skills and studies.

Follow the white rabbit and discover how deep the code goes! Keep an eye out in the #gophercon and #gophercon-cs channels in Gophers Slack for more updates up to and through the conference.
