Join The Merge! Clever Guerrilla invites all clever developers to our winter coding hackathon ! You & your team will use our flagship platform, causality, to build engaging solutions that merge the physical & digital space.
causality is the Unreal Engine for physical-digital activations. Through a combination of its modular API & 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 & show us!
Bring your best ideas & your top teammates for some competitive fun, food, & goodies!
Why
$2,000 in prizes
$1,500 in exclusive access to Clever Guerrilla's causality platform
Unique gift bags for everyone
FOOD! Music! Networking!
Special guests & judges
Opportunities to turn your causality-powered solution into a full fledged & monetized product of your own
Experiences showcased in the causality app
Who
Developers & 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 & be presented with the Challenge Statement. Then we'll blow the whistle & you'll start creating physical-digital solutions for it using causality.
