  Sample Screenshot of interaction with chatbot

Inspiration

Feedback from our Freshman Orientation Programme highlighted key issues: students felt the programme was too rushed, overwhelming, and offered not much interaction. Many said bonding games “did not do much,” information was confusing, and there was little opportunity to bond with classmates. Some even wished for simple essentials like a proper school tour.

What it does

Our solution directly addresses these gaps through an interactive escape-puzzle chatbot. Freshmen will progress through a guided narrative filled with campus-based puzzles that require teamwork and communication—naturally encouraging real bonding. Each puzzle also reveals bite-sized, easy-to-digest information about the school environment, helping students discover key locations, facilities, and resources without feeling overwhelmed. Instead of passively listening, students actively explore, solve, and learn. With this gamified chatbot, orientation becomes memorable, interactive, and informative—turning confusion into clarity and strangers into teammates.

How we built it

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Small small achievement is to make it generate the prompt and display the prompt based on keyword detection!
