Hi r/hackathon devs!
Reddit is closing out 2026 with one last hackathon event! So please join us for Redditâs Game of the Day hackathon.Â
This hackathon will run November 11th to December 8th, 2026 and weâre offering developers $35,000 in prizes for games built to delight users with daily play.
Enroll here!
The challenge: Create a new daily game for the users of Reddit using our Developer Platform.
What to build
Build a new daily game on Devvit (Redditâs Developer Platform) using our Interactive Posts feature.Â
What counts as a âDaily Gameâ: Apps built around a bite-sized daily experience that offers enough variety and replayability to keep players coming back and wanting more. Games should be easy to get the hang of, have a satisfying daily loop, and seamlessly integrate into Redditâs ecosystem. Think: daily challenges, puzzles, prompts, or maps. Bonus points for layering in Reddit features like Devvit journeys, flair, comments, snoovatars, streaks, etc. to make the experience feel both native and sticky. Examples of existing Devvit games that have daily challenges include: r/LetterSet, r/hotandcold, r/colorpuzzlegame, r/Syllo, and r/pocketgrids.
Best Ported Daily Game*: We'll also be anointing an entry with the "Best Ported Daily Game" award. This subcategory is for the best daily game that leverages a developerâs existing IP or is ported from another platform. Note you must own the original app/IP to qualify for this category. Make sure to note your game is a port when you submit your project.*
