GLITCHED GAMES — Global Web & Mobile Game Hackathon 2026 — Frequently Asked Questions

It is a global online hackathon organised by GB3-Productions for people who want to build games. Participants develop a game for web or mobile and submit it through the official Devpost page, with the submission window closing on 30 June 2026.

There is no cash funding and no cash prize pool. The one prize on offer is non-cash: the winner gets five GIFs or pictures of their choice for free. The value of entering lies in the finished game you build, the judging feedback and the portfolio piece you walk away with.

Anyone, anywhere in the world. The hackathon is open to solo developers and to teams, and skill level is not a barrier — beginners with an idea are as welcome as experienced game makers.

No. The programme lists no DPIIT, MSME or business-registration requirement, and no particular entity type is specified. Eligibility rests on your interest in building a game for web or mobile, not on the legal structure you operate under.

Either works. There is no stated restriction on team size, so a solo developer and a larger group are both free to participate.

Entries should be games aimed at the web or mobile platforms. Beyond that, the brief leaves room for fresh mechanics, strong storytelling and thoughtful player experiences.

The hackathon begins on 16 April 2026 and runs entirely online. All projects must be submitted by the deadline of 30 June 2026.

Judging takes place after the submission period has closed. Entries are evaluated on creativity, technical execution and how good the player experience is.

No. There is no investment component and no equity or stake involved — this is a competition with a non-cash prize only, so nothing is taken in return for entering.

Registration and project submission both happen through the official Devpost page at https://glitch-to-win-games.devpost.com/. You sign up there, develop your game remotely during the build window, and upload it before the 30 June 2026 deadline.

It is completely virtual. Participants work remotely from wherever they are, and all submissions are made online through Devpost.
