ABOUT 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.

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.

HOW IT WORKS

So as you see, the Matchups Hackathon is all about matching between designers and app developers - to create fantastic apps that look and feel amazing. So right now, we are looking for awesome UI Designers who are passionate about AAA gaming, to join forces with in-game app creators.

If you can realize the true value of an app, if you can make it shine by creating the perfect user experience for it - then hop over; you’ve come to the right place.
