FAQ
The important stuff. (And a few other things.)
BOO! 2026 takes place on October 24, 2026 at Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology, Kerala. The doors open at 5:00 PM, and it runs overnight into the morning of October 25.
BOO! 2026 is currently open to students of Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology (ASIET).
Teams are made up of 2 people. Rule one of every horror movie: never split up. Find your partner and stick together all night.
Pretty much anything. Software, AI, games, hardware, robotics, electronics, weird experiments... There's one prompt, and the trailer gives it away. Just think about what you'd need to make it out alive.
What is BOO!?For the current edition, yes. BOO! 2026 is currently limited to ASIET students.
Yep. Registration is ₹399 per team of two, for a full night of questionable decisions.
Food, yes: dinner, late-night snacks and coffee to keep you going. Since BOO! takes place on campus and runs through the night, separate accommodation or sleeping facilities will not be provided. If you need a place to stay before the event, you'll need to make your own arrangements.
Bring your laptop, charger, whatever hardware or tools your project needs, and anything else you need to survive a long night of building. Don't forget your ID and your teammate. We'll get you on the Wi-Fi at check-in.
BOO! isn't just about sitting in a lab and staring at your screen. Late in the night there's a carnival to break up the build. What's in it? That stays a secret for now.
Submissions close in the morning, and that's a hard deadline: your repo, your pitch deck and a live link. Then the jury comes to your table for a live demo, a look at your code, and a few questions.
Everyone who takes part gets a participation certificate, and the winners get prizes, handed out at the closing ceremony in the morning.
Right here on the site: who can take part, what to bring, what to build, how it's judged, and the rest of the rules of the night.
