Glitch was one of the first events that I participated in Gravitas when we came to VIT. It gave us a kind of welcoming feeling, and it was indeed a great experience. Solving all the riddles, was truly like a treasure hunt. I had never seen this concept before where we can google whatever we want. We were glad we reached the final round, and even won the bonus round! The seniors were there to help us throughout the competition!
