How it works

Represent your hacker house, or arrive solo and the AI Sorting Hat will place you into one đź§™.

Then as a team, get ready to dive into the challenges.

In the main quest of the hackathon, build in one of three tracks:

  1. AI gone rogue—create or break an AI agent.

  2. Hack the house—build something that helps the hacker house community.

  3. New interfaces—rethink how we creatively interact with technological systems.

Once your main build is underway, the arena flips. Hourly trials beyond code drop—intense mental puzzles, physical challenges, raw creativity. Each demands a single champion from your house. Win the quest, bank bonus points, and inch closer to the ultimate gold medal. Strategy isn’t optional; deploy the right teammate, and dominate the leaderboard.

The Houses Include
  • Mission Control

  • Satellite House

  • Accelr8

  • Capi House

  • Prototype

  • Incepto House

  • Dojo House

  • The Stable

… and more

🧙‍♀️ You will judged by a panel of VC experts based on

  1. ​🔮 Skill

  2. ✨ Creativity

  3. ​🪄 Coherence of Will

Food, credits, and boba will be provided đź§‹.
