The Shattered Shard (DEF CON 34) public pre-event player-guide description

badge-hosted CTF progression

The public guide frames The Shattered Shard as a ten-chapter rune-restoration quest with sequentially unlocked progress and per-badge state. It establishes a planned game surface, not a full challenge archive, final scoring system, prize, winner record, completion ledger, event deployment, or permission to reproduce solutions or probe anything beyond an assigned badge and its advertised services.
