Join The Merge! Clever Guerrilla Inc. invites all clever developers to our winter coding hackathon ☃️! You and your team will use our flagship platform, causality, to build engaging solutions that merge the physical and digital space.
causality is the Unreal Engine for physical-digital activations. Through a combination of its modular API and NFC tags, you can build things like:
Games that unlock content, special areas or items through scanning physical goods
Websites that reveal secret content only in specific locations/waypoints
VIP access in a virtual world
Discord servers that assign roles based on the merch/swag you own
Be creative and show us!
Bring your best ideas and your top teammates for some competitive fun, food, and goodies!

Who
Developers and non-devs of all levels.
Coding is required at this event.
Beginners are welcome! The minimum requirement is understanding how to use API calls.
We encourage teams! If you’re not a dev please make sure to note your teammates when prompted during registration.
There must be at least one dev capable of coding on every team (if you're hacking solo - that must be you)
How
Request to join through Luma.
We’re accepting participants on a rolling basis, looking for those who can hack as well as they can party.
Upon acceptance you’ll receive an email with credentials to your complimentary causality account (for studying/experimenting with before the event) as well as info on where to pick up test NFC tags in the NYC area if you want to be fully prepared.On event day, you’ll arrive, mingle, eat and be presented with the Challenge Statement. Then we’ll blow the whistle and you’ll start creating physical-digital solutions for it using causality.
