About

Welcome to Lit Mania, a premier competition in Schoolhouse Nexus to celebrate Schoolhouse’s 5th anniversary! This event is not just about reading literature—it's about analyzing, debating, storytelling, and thinking critically about the worlds crafted by words.

Event Heads: Joy L and Shayla M

In Lit Mania, participants will embark on a thrilling multi-round challenge that puts their literary knowledge, analytical skills, and creativity to the test. From rapid-fire trivia to heated literary debates, from on-the-spot storytelling to deciphering cryptic texts, this competition is designed to push the boundaries of how we understand and engage with literature.

Expect the unexpected—plot twists aren’t just in novels! Each round will get tougher, eliminating participants until only one remains, crowned the ultimate Lit Legend.

Whether you’re a bookworm, a debate enthusiast, or just someone who loves a good story, this is your moment to shine.

Let’s celebrate five years of learning, storytelling, and intellectual battles—see you in Lit Mania!

Want to join as a participant or an audience member? Sign up now and be part of the celebration! We look forward to seeing you there!
