Welcome to the ARIORON THINK Hackathon, an online hackathon where creativity gets the throne. Build something nobody has seen before, inspired by the world of Game of Thrones: power, alliances, betrayal, and the fight for the throne.

There are no tracks and no assigned problem. Come solo or with a team of up to 4, build for as long as you can before 10 December 2026, and show us an idea nobody would have predicted. Everyone aged 12 and over is welcome.

This hackathon is part of ARIORON THINK 2026, a critical-thinking festival and competition celebrating people who question, reason, and build smarter.

Use whatever languages, frameworks, and tools suit your idea. We'd love to see you build with Arioron's own tools:

• VexAI: Arioron's AI product. Use it as the intelligence at the core of your project, like a character, an advisor, an opponent, or a storyteller.
• VexAPI: Arioron's API service. The free tier is open to everyone, so you can start building at no cost.

Tell us in your write-up what you built with and how it fits together.

Not sure where to start? Think about what makes the world of Game of Thrones tick: who you can trust, who is bluffing, who wins an argument, and who pays for a mistake. Then ask what you could build around that. A few sparks:

• A strategy game where AI rivals negotiate, bluff, and betray
• A small council of AI advisors that argue opposing sides before you decide
• A "spot the liar" game where you detect deception in persuasive AI characters
• A living-world story where every choice has consequences
• A map or alliance explorer that makes a huge world easy to follow
• A debate trainer where you must persuade an AI lord to join your cause
• A Bengali-language story or roleplay tool
• A real-life tool in disguise, like a deadline planner with a kingdom skin

These are only ideas. The strangest ones are welcome. Please use your own characters, names, and art, and no official logos, artwork, or footage.
