Reddit and Kiro: Community Games Challenge

Overview

This hackathon challenges you to build new games, social experiments, or experiences for Reddit using their Developer Platform and the Interactive Posts feature. You'll use web technologies to create Devvit apps and can leverage Kiro to enhance your development workflow. The goal is to create polished, community-focused games that bring redditors together.

Requirements

Participants must be above the legal age of majority in their country and can join from anywhere except countries with standard exceptions. Teams can be any size. You'll need to build your game using Reddit's Developer Platform and the Devvit framework. Submissions require a link to your app on developer.reddit.com and a demo post showing your game running on a subreddit. For the "Best Kiro Developer Experience" award, you also need to provide a detailed write-up or a short video explaining how Kiro improved your development process, and a public, open-source code repository that includes a /.kiro directory.
