The Hall of Fame
Solver Squad Elite
The Boss Battle changes every week. The recognition stays. Three names step into the spotlight, and every finished month becomes part of the permanent Elite collection.
Current month spotlight
October 2026
The current month gets the full-size plaque. Each Friday adds one engraved row of three Solver Squad Elite names. When the month closes, this exact design shrinks into its permanent place in the school-year collection.
2026–27 Elite year
Every month keeps its place.
The active month steps into the spotlight above. When the next month begins, the finished plaque returns here with every name engraved. Choose a month to revisit its winners without turning the page into one giant list.
