SecureWV 2026 // CTF Operations
Directive Zero.
An interactive capture-the-flag mission built for the night shift. The Construct is reporting no anomalies. QUORUM disagrees. Your clearance is waiting.
Mission briefing
Find the anomalies.
This year’s CTF uses a new format loosely inspired by the RPG Paranoia. You are a compliance officer tasked with locating anomalies and reporting them to QUORUM. Rise through the ranks as you find flags, build techniques, and solve the problems the system insists are not there.
