Quantum Games Hackathon 2023 - Winners

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Quantum Games Hackathon 2023, organized by the Quantum AI Foundation.

This worldwide, fully-remote competition took place 30 Sept-8 Oct 2023. The participants had the challenge of developing a playable game focused on quantum mechanics and quantum computing. Submissions were evaluated according to the scope of quantum mechanics they cover, playability, originality of the idea, and overall completeness.

Congratulations to the winners and all participants! Feel invited to enjoy these games. :)
