Rork Games Hackathon

​Rork Games Hackathon is a one-day London hackathon for builders who want to turn a simple game idea into a playable AI-powered product.

​The day is built around shipping: meet other builders, form or join a team, learn the tools, build fast, get mentor feedback, submit, demo, and leave with something real.

​This is for people who want to build games, not pitch decks. Bring a game mechanic, character idea, story world, mini-game, mobile game concept, AI agent, multiplayer idea, creator tool, or rough prototype. By the end of the day, teams should have a working demo, a clear product direction, and a launch-ready story.

​Teams will compete for prizes across product, gameplay, demo, and community challenge categories.
