02The Experiment
What can two humans build when AI changes the rules?
One engineer and one non-engineer step outside their usual roles, orchestrate AI agents, and take shared ownership of a real product. No pre-built solution. No hand-offs. Just 24 hours to make something work.
03The Format
Four rules. One product.
- 01Team
Two roles, one team
One engineer and one non-engineer share ownership of the product. Both direct AI agents. Nobody is only the presenter.
- 02Brief
Confidential challenge
The brief stays sealed until 11:00 on 18 December. Every team starts from the same line.
- 03Ship
Zero to live product
No pre-built solution. Teams go from an empty start to a working gaming product in 24 hours.
- 04After
Live competition
Shipping is only the beginning. Products move into live testing and competition, followed by a final selection.

06FAQ
Questions, answered.
Where something is not decided yet, we say so. Details will be confirmed as the programme is finalised.
A 24-hour, on-site, cross-studio hackathon in Bratislava on 18–19 December 2026. Teams of one engineer and one non-engineer orchestrate AI agents to build a working live gaming product from zero.
Anyone who wants to take part in this cross-studio experiment can register. Team-format eligibility will be confirmed as the programme is finalised.
The organising team reviews each registration against the team format, venue capacity, and operational feasibility. Pairs are confirmed together, and people who asked to be matched are paired with someone from the other side of the team where possible. You will hear from the organising team directly with next steps. Your place is confirmed only at that point.
Each team is one engineer and one non-engineer, working with AI agents. Both people share ownership of the product and direct the agents together. It is not a split where one person builds and the other presents.
No. You can register with a partner, or tell us you are open to being matched. The matching process will be confirmed.
At 11:00 on 18 December 2026. Until then the brief stays confidential, and every team receives it at the same time.
Products go live and move into a post-event competition, expected to include an employee live tournament and a technical and product evaluation. A final selection, The Tank, decides the winner of the €15,000 prize. Dates and rules will be confirmed.
Travel and accommodation arrangements have not been finalised. Details will be shared with participants once they are confirmed.
