About the Dice Hack Challenge

Tech pros love a good challenge. So we created one that asks a simple question. Can you hack this billboard?

There were four billboards to hack and a series of laborious challenges to complete, all of which required mad skills in social engineering, code debugging, cryptology, description and more. But don’t worry – the bragging rights and the four ridiculous prizes were all worth it.

J0HNNYXM4S chose the helicopter commute to work. C7FIVE nabbed the custom dog mansion. And both ALXHRCK and JAKU enjoyed their very own, super fancy $1,000 pizza parties. Check out their reactions to these insane prizes in the videos above.

All in all, we had over 120,000 visits to our game sites and 39 finishers. (Yes, the challenge was that hard.) Thanks to all for joining us on this wild ride. It was fun!
