Activity Summary
AI Game On! is an innovative AI Game Jam themed "Giving Our History a New Heartbeat through the Intelligence of Tomorrow." This event challenges participants to merge cultural heritage with cutting-edge technology.
The core twist requires every game to feature a "Hidden Heritage Artifact"—a secret in-game item that, when discovered, unlocks real-world historical facts on a digital portal.
By integrating AI into the development process and gameplay, teams will transform local history into an interactive "Digital Museum," ensuring that the stories of our past continue to resonate in the future.
