FANTASTIC WORLDS: THE GREAT ADVENTURE OF THE MAGICAL REALMS

Once upon a time, in a vast universe brimming with magical worlds, each as unique and wondrous as the next, yet all struggling under the weight of great challenges, brave explorers were born with a single, extraordinary mission: to end the wars that had torn these lands apart and show them that five united kingdoms would be far stronger and more powerful than any one alone. For years, they fought for this vision, but now the time has come to embark on an epic journey—a journey with no return. This quest will carry them across different territories, where they will immerse themselves in each domain’s distinct qualities, cultures, traditions, ways of life, and struggles, with one goal: to understand them and help them understand each other.

From the mystical forests where wise elves dwell, to the towering mountains guarded by mighty dragons, each kingdom holds its own secrets and challenges. Yet, beyond their differences lies a shared need—for ingenuity, for collaboration—to overcome the obstacles that keep them apart. The explorers’ mission is not merely to solve the conflicts of individual domains, but to forge a united world where inequality, discrimination, and exclusion no longer exist.

With every step, these explorers weave alliances between the kingdoms, resolving conflicts that have long divided them, nurturing a sense of unity that grows stronger with each bond they create. It’s as though they are stitching together a patchwork family, one lesson from one land shared with the next, until the very differences that once drove them apart become their greatest strengths. But their mission doesn’t end with peace in one territory—only when all five worlds have overcome their struggles and learned to work as one will the explorers be able to rest, satisfied with their tireless efforts.

Together, the explorers will come to realize that true strength does not lie in the individual magic of each world, but in their unity. Regardless of age, origin, or gender, the people of these lands will learn to collaborate, to stand by one another, and to face new challenges as a single force. The adventure doesn’t end with the resolution of conflicts; each step transforms not only the kingdoms themselves but also the lives and futures of those who call them home.

This journey is more than just a passage through distant domains—it is a mission to forge a better world, one where everyone can coexist and prosper together. In the end, they will create not just a collection of worlds, but a single, powerful whole—fantastic territories bound together by cooperation, equality, and the magic of teamwork

CHARACTERS:

Adventurers/ Explorers (Participants)

The teams of adventurers will form a clan, each able to choose a name related to the magical world in which they are immersed. Each clan must collaborate to overcome challenges and earn points (magical artifacts) that will bring them closer to the grand treasure.

Fantastic Characters (Sponsoring Companies)

Each company will be represented as a fantastic character from the magical worlds, with unique traits in each edition. Each character will have its own sub-kingdom within the global kingdom and will offer specific challenges to the adventurers.

Wise Sages and Wizards (Mentors)

The sages and wizards will accompany the adventurer clans, offering them wisdom and guiding them in solving the problems they encounter in the magical kingdoms.

Missions and Challenges

Throughout their journey, adventurers may face additional missions and challenges (games, conferences, online challenges) that allow them to collect more magical artifacts (bonus points) and gain advantages on their path to the grand treasure.

STRUCTURE

 

In these events, participants will delve into a collection of magical worlds inhabited by fantastical characters and creatures. Each world offers a unique experience with its own challenges, set in an environment full of magic and mystery. There are kingdoms of gnomes, dragons, fairies, elves, and other mythical beings, and as adventurers enter these realms, they must adapt and use all their skills and tools to collect magical artifacts that will help them win a grand treasure.

Each world is composed of kingdoms and sub-kingdoms, presenting great trials, missions, and challenges. As adventurers overcome these trials, their clan will advance from kingdom to kingdom—but beware! Along the way, they may encounter additional missions and challenges that grant extra magical artifacts, bringing them even closer to the grand treasure.

 

PHASES:

  • First Kingdom: Ancestral Wisdom (Datathon)

In this kingdom, adventurers must interpret data, uncovering the wisdom and history of the magical world around them. Here, they will learn the keys to understanding the mysteries that inhabit this realm.

 

  • Second Kingdom: Solutions for the Great House (Hackathon)

After gathering the necessary knowledge in the first kingdom, adventurers will need to apply their ingenuity to solve problems affecting the magical kingdoms. This is where their creation and development skills will be put to the test.

From October to May, in-person checkpoints will be available to review the clans’ progress and accumulate points. These checkpoints will also provide opportunities for activities like roundtable discussions, meals, or networking sessions with participants, mentors, and sponsoring companies.

 

PRIZES:

  • Grand Treasure (Main Prize):

Only one clan of adventurers will be worthy of winning the grand treasure—the top prize awarded to the winning team of the event (edition).

  • Treasure Chests (Challenge Prizes):

Along the way, adventurers can obtain treasure chests by completing specific challenges within each sub-kingdom. These chests offer more than magical artifacts but are independent of the grand treasure.

  • Magical Artifacts (Minor Rewards):

Adventurers can collect magical artifacts (points) by completing additional missions and challenges, allowing them to advance faster toward the final treasure.
