I love geeking out with my daughter.

New paid CTF platform:
✅ Has cool gamification and esports elements
✅ Includes great graphics and stories behind each character

*The time is official and was done at an official comp, but the senior division rankings are unofficial/estimates because age isn't tracked or public on the official website.
