Description

Through halls adorned with yuletide cheer,
Lies a secret no one dares go near.
In the House of Santa, deep and dark,
A mystery lurks, waiting to leave its mark.

Elves speak of whispers in the night,
Of a backdoor hidden out of sight.
Crafted by the sharpest mind,
A flaw for only the brave to find.

Snowflakes fall in silent grace,
Masking the danger in this place.
Many have ventured, bold and bright,
But none have returned to tell of their plight.

Can you, dear challenger, face the test?
Outwit the fortress and be the best?
Unlock the secrets, break the chains,
Solve the puzzle where darkness reigns.

Santa’s house is not what it seems,
A labyrinth of code, a realm of dreams.
With malloc and free, the game is set,
Enter now, if you dare, with no regret.

This Christmas, the gauntlet is thrown,
In the House of Santa, your skills must be shown.
An epic quest, where legends are made,
Dive into the code, and do not be afraid.

For in the heart of Santa's lair,
Lies the secret, if you dare.
Crack the heap, find the flaw,
And become the hero of them all.
