$500ABOUT THE MATCHUP
The creators who build apps on our platform are great with code, but in many cases – design isn’t exactly their cup of tea. We want to help them connect with designers who understand gaming and can make their apps look and feel amazing. Exactly for that reason, we came up with the Matchups Hackathon.
TL;DR 10 teams of app developers and designers (hey, that’s you!), 10 existing apps, and 4 action-packed weeks to give each app a brand new look.

WHO WE ARE
We are Overwolf,
The guild for in-game creators
We’ve created the world’s leading platform for in-game creators and for gamers who build or consume user-generated content around their favorite games.
Our mission: Turning in-game creation into a new profession and building the next generation of games.
And not just any games; we are talking about some of the biggest AAA titles out there – games like Minecraft, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, PUBG, and Fortnite – to name just a few.
Read more about it here or hop over to the Overwolf Appstore to check out some apps.
What is an in-game app?
An in-game app is a native desktop app that can track and use in-game events/stats, all in real-time. It gives you endless creative freedom to build rich, immersive experiences within your favorite games.
These apps live both on your desktop and in-game, as an overlay, unlocking infinite possibilities to experiment and create.
