The CERBERUS 2021 can be counted among the most successful events organized by the Hansraj Sports Society, not only due to the colossal participation it witnessed but also the fact that the event was organized successfully during the time of a worldwide pandemic made it noteworthy.
The online event was held in a ternary pattern with three games of various traits. The first game, known as the Hansraj Cricket League was a virtual auction event that tested the business sagacity of its participants. Held over 3 days, the event did not only vouch for enormous participation but also the stem-winding competition which distinguishes it from the rest.
Next in the line is Fateh: The battle of wits. Just as the name suggests it was an intellectual debate event with the best squabbling motions. Not only were the prelims tough to tackle but also the panel of the final round found it hard to decide between two accomplished argufiers. It was indeed an event filled with vim and thrill.
Catch the killer: The Track Trail can be credited as the adventure flush of CERBERUS. The exhilarating murder mystery, the astounding levels, the secretive assassin, and the camouflaged treasure made it an arresting task. The dares on the way made sure that the best player wins. It no doubt reflected the execution mastery of our team.
