Build & Reward Hack Night 🏆

Hey Builders,

On Tuesday 4th June we’re going to be hosting a small informal hack event, the first we’ve done in a while, with plenty of food, drinks, music and even some prizes (3 x £100 prizes to be won).

We'll have a really fun night… 😎

The focus of the hack will be experimenting with reward systems, using leaderboards, missions, XP and badges/achievements to reward and incentivise users of an app or platform. We’re exploring how these game mechanics can be used outside of gaming, in all sorts of apps. And we’ve built the tools to help people build with these mechanics, on-chain, very quickly.

We’ll be using the OPENFORMAT toolkit and a low-code backend builder called BuildShip so that anyone can quickly build a cool MVP at the hack, including UI designers, product owners, start-up founders and non-devs, you’re all invited!

You could build anything from:
- A check-in app that rewards a user based on their proximity to an event or specific location
- A way to automatically reward users with a digital twin of a product when they buy it
- A fully fledged rewards system for an education app with missions, XP, a leaderboard and an achievement ladder
- A way to integrate rewards and leaderboards into any existing applications as a new user engagement mechanism

Anything you can think of where missions, badges and points could be useful… You can read a bit more about OPENFORMAT and our toolkit in our docs.

The night will kick off at 6pm at our new office in Bristol, where we'll be serving food and drinks, and where you can form a team (or not if you prefer solo).

Co-founder and lead engineer, Andy, will then run through a quick demo of our toolkit and BuildShip to show you what you can build, how to build and how easy it is to get started!

If you can’t make the full event feel free to just drop in, or to leave early/arrive late.

We can’t wait to see you! 🌞

Sarah, Dan & Andy
