The inter-university competition covers all aspects of computing in the form of an intense weekend filled with logic puzzles, impossible algorithms, captivating video games, unusual social activities, and of course, programming. Every year, the Games are organized by students from a different university and are open to all bachelor's students. Teams are formed of seven to 10 people, and each team takes part in several simultaneous competitions.

The Polytechnique delegation was made up of 22 students split into two teams. The PolyLucky team (Antonni Laveault, Jules Gagnon-Marchand, Gauthier Viau, Charles-André Huard, Cédric Barbez, Mathieu M-Gosselin, Jean-Alexandre Barszcz, Sébastien Séguin-Gagnon, Alexandre Rose, Nicolas Cloutier and Étienne Ducharme) finished in second place, while the PolyCharms team (Karine Leduc, Alexandre St-Onge, Pierrick Arsenault, Nabil Fates, Francis Richard-Emond, Philippe Auger, Vincent Longpré, David Mainville, Francis Marineau, Christian Harper-Cyr and Benjamin Correal) finished in fourth place in the general overall results.
