Run hackathons & game jams, end to end.
The all-in-one hackathon and game jam management platform: registration, teambuilding, judging & scoring, live control, certificates — white-label, one flat price, zero subscriptions.
Every new host gets a fully pre-filled sample event to explore — free.
Your whole event, in one clean dashboard.
No more juggling sheets, forms and timers. Everything — registration, teams, scoring, live control — lives in a single workspace.
Your platform, your brand — and no sales call to start.
HackathonHost runs entirely under your identity, with your team in full control from registration to the results reveal. There's no agency to hire, no organizers to outsource, and no hidden "organizational costs" — you own the whole event, end to end.
Your team runs the show. No third-party organizers, no dependency on us to operate your event.
No agency fees or hidden setup costs — the platform does the heavy lifting so you don't hire it out.
Your logo, colours and app name across every screen. Participants see you, never us.
Sign up and launch the same day. Nothing to book, no rep to get past, no waiting on a quote.
The whole platform is self-serve, start to finish. Nobody to chase for access, setup, or approvals.
Pay once per event, not every month. No seats to count, no recurring bill, no lock-in between events.
Our partners.

Turkic Game JamOne platform, every part of the event.
Stop juggling sheets, forms, scoring docs, and timers. HackathonHost covers the entire event lifecycle — from the first sign-up to the last certificate.
Register & build teams
Open registration, fill teams, and get everyone matched before day one.
Slug-based shareable links with social-preview cards. Custom questions, capacity caps, and duplicate-detection across team and individual sign-ups.
Solo participants and teams with open spots post to a public, live board. One-tap Apply with a role and a note; teams accept or decline from an Applications inbox — no contact details traded back and forth.
Team posts tag a looking-for role; HackathonHost flags the people who fit and nudges them by email. Teams can also invite a solo directly — a private accept/decline link, contact stays hidden.
Spin up teams and members from XLSX with auto-generated credentials. Full event bundle exports cover teams, scores, agenda, and detailed jury notes.
Embed a live event card with a working Register button on your own site — it switches off when registration closes. Or pull events and registration counts as JSON through scoped API keys.
Run the day
Drive the room from one screen — countdowns, announcements, and the big-screen projection.
Pick the presenting team, fire pitch and Q&A countdowns, and project full-screen event-overview and theme-reveal slides on the big screen.
Run live audience polls and word clouds during the event and project the results full-screen — keep the room engaged between pitches.
Six built-in transactional emails plus manual broadcasts, sent via Resend. White-labelled to your event branding.
Run it on-site, fully online, or hybrid. Event formats, multiple locations, and a venue map are built in.
Teams hand in their build — cover image, description, play and pitch-doc links, plus Engine / Platform / Genre drop-downs and your own custom questions. Submissions open and lock on a schedule you set.
Judge & reveal
Fair scoring, a dramatic reveal, and certificates that print — without the spreadsheet panic.
Score by your jury, by public vote, or both. Weighted criteria, sub-criteria, and per-jury weights. Lock on demand, reveal on a schedule, or run the classic 30-second dramatic countdown.
General Score ranks the podium with weighted totals and tie alerts. Criteria Score breaks teams down per category. Export to XLSX or DOCX.
Per-category templates, custom fonts, QR + signature fields, public verification page, batch ZIP or single multi-page PDF.
Registration funnel, scoring distribution, completion stats — plus a one-page PDF export ready to send to sponsors.
Build satisfaction surveys or any custom feedback form. Each one gets its own public link and QR code, with optional dashboard widgets for the roles that need them.
Your brand, your data
Run the platform in your colours, on your terms, with every host fully isolated.
Pick your accent colour, upload your logo, set your app name. Hosts run their space in their own colours — participants never see ours.
Multi-tenant from day one. Hosts only ever see their own events, jury, teams, and data — fully isolated.
An opt-in public profile with your event portfolio and headline stats — a shareable page that markets your next jam for you.
Flag a problem participant once and HackathonHost warns you — or blocks them — when they try to register for your other events.
A workflow built around real events.
Three steps from an empty draft to a wrapped-up event — the same flow whether it's a weekend game jam or a corporate hackathon.
Set up your event
Create the event, themes, criteria, jury, and rules. Drop in a cover image and you have a public registration link in minutes.
Run the day
Live control picks the presenting team, fires the countdown, broadcasts announcements, and projects a clean full-screen overview.
Reveal & wrap up
Schedule the leaderboard reveal, generate certificates with QR verification, email everyone, and export the full event bundle.
