Overview

Wizard Hackathon

Wizard Hackathon

​Enter the forge.

​Wizard Hackathon is a magical one-day build sprint where founders, engineers, designers, and creators come together to turn raw ideas into working prototypes.

​This is not a normal hackathon. Think of it as a room full of modern mages, each crafting new spells with code, AI, design, and imagination. Over one intense day, teams will gather, experiment, build, and demo products that feel useful, surprising, and alive.

​Whether you are building your first MVP, testing a wild product idea, or joining forces with other builders, Wizard Hackathon is designed to help you move from idea → prototype → demo before the day ends.

​The Quest

​Your mission is simple:

​Form a party. Choose a track. Build a spell. Ship the demo.

​Every team will create a product, tool, game, agent, or experience inspired by one of the event tracks. The best projects will combine creativity, technical execution, product thinking, and a strong final demo.
