However, due to the bad internet connection in the place, we had to work offline. So first we talked about how were we going to approach the problem.

Dang, that's tough. Did you have downloaded offline docs?

We had to use one of my teammates' mobile data to download them... The organizers didn't expect so many people to come and the internet connection was really horrible xD

Its a bummer, but at the end of the day going to the hackathon and enjoying the experience is the most important.

I had a similar experience, went to a 48 hour hackathon and the first 6 hours the WIFI didn't work due to having ~twice as many people than they expected (250 vs 500)
