Overview
Paradox is an in-person buildathon taking place in London, UK, offering participants a 30-hour period to create and develop a story. The event challenges individuals to not only conceptualize a narrative but also to build an experience that allows them to live within the world they've created. This unique hackathon encourages creative storytelling combined with technical implementation. The core idea behind Paradox is to merge the art of narrative with the act of making. Participants will be tasked with bringing their imaginative worlds to life through various builds and interactive elements. This approach moves beyond traditional coding challenges, encouraging a holistic creation process where story and build are intrinsically linked. The event provides an opportunity for individuals to push their creative and technical boundaries within a focused timeframe. By building for 30 hours, participants will engage in rapid prototyping and development, culminating in an immersive experience based on their unique story.
What to build
Participants must build a story and then create something that allows them to live inside that story.
