We’re back Monday with a new challenge and product updates
This Monday, The Incident Challenge is back.
New challenge. New product updates. Built directly from your feedback.
Last time, only 20% reached the correct fix.
First and second place were separated by 13 seconds.
This time, there are very cool new features,
the challenge is more fun, a little nostalgic, but still very complex.
We’re keeping the incident itself sealed until Monday, but we’re still making final tweaks.
Any last-minute requests before we go live?

Can’t wait for Monday’s launch! I joined the last debugging round and was surprised only 20% of players nailed the correct fix. I’m really hyped to test the new nostalgic yet tricky challenge this time around.

@yuriko19810122 i guess you were in the 20% that succeeded? 🤘🏻
Great to hear, can’t wait to launch it!

@yuriko19810122 by the way if you’ve enjoyed, we’d appreciate your review on PH!
Could you add split difficulty tiers for this upcoming event? Independent beginner and advanced modes will let rookie developers and senior engineers both get suitable gameplay fun.

@lolpoprog great idea! we’ve been debating this internally for a while.
the thing is that if we run two separate challenge tracks, we essentially need to duplicate everything: sandboxes, leaderboards, admin tools, and all the surrounding infrastructure. i’m not sure we’ll be able to build and properly stabilize it before monday.
that said, i can promise it’ll be part of the 22.6 challenge. 💪🏼🤘🏻
thank you for suggesting it. as creators, we have hundreds of ideas floating around at any given moment, and sometimes you have to leave good ones behind just to keep moving forward. when we hear the same ideas coming from users, it gives us confidence that we’re heading in the right direction and helps us prioritize what to build next.

Counting down the days till Monday! The last super tight 13s finish between top two players has already hooked me, really curious what throwback bug scenarios you’ve hidden in the new challenge.

After the event launches, it’d be awesome to archive past challenge cases as free learning resources. New junior engineers could practice real failure scenarios anytime with these archived incidents.

Did you check out the demo challenge? We also have the challenge documentation for each one (story+solution) on our website.
But having the capability to demo any challenge, is a great idea. Will do 🫡 Thank you!
