Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a team to join?

While you do not need a team to compete, the nature of our hackathon would make a team largely beneficial. There is a channel in our Discord if you are looking for teammates! Teams can have a maximum of 4 people.

What is the theme of AlchemyHacks?

Our goal for this hackathon was to have a specific problem to solve, with restrictions to inspire creative solutions, rather than just giving full creative power. The hope in doing this is to invoke critical thinking and inspire unique solutions. Your goal is to create a tutorial for an adventure retro style game that we created!

Do I need to code my submission?

You will have to code, by creating a series of instructions that follow the limitations we provide during the hackathon. You will have to interact with the graphics engine we created to create your tutorial for our game. You can learn more by looking at our Devpost.

Who can participate?

Any high school student from anywhere around the globe is able to submit a project for this hackathon!

Will this hackathon have prizes?

Of course there will be prizes! We will announce our prizing structure closer to our hackathon date, so stay tuned!

How much does it cost to attend?

It costs nothing you silly goose! Attending will be absolutely free, we will cover all the costs just for you, so you can focus on having fun!
