OVERTHRONE

Overthrone (Helix x ISTE) is a strategy-based competitive event that combines AI simulation, coding, puzzles, and real-time decision-making in a virtual warfare setting. Teams act as rulers of digital kingdoms and control an AI agent called the Sovereign to capture territories on a dynamic map. To expand and survive, participants must solve logic puzzles, riddles, and technical challenges to earn resources (Attack Points), which are then used by their AI to attack rivals and gain land. The game runs in epochs (rounds) with two phases: A manual phase where teams solve tasks and plan strategies A simulation phase where AI executes moves on the battlefield What makes it unique is the mix of strategy + social gameplay—teams can form alliances, betray others, or use special action cards like attack, alliance, backstab, and suspicion. The ultimate goal is simple: capture maximum territory and be the last kingdom standing to claim the throne.
