What is a vibe jam?
A vibe jam is a hackathon or game jam where the entries are built mostly with AI coding tools such as Cursor, Lovable, Bolt or Claude Code. You describe what you want, the AI writes most of the code, and you ship something that works before the deadline. Most are held online and run from a weekend to a few weeks.
Every listing here links to the organiser's official page, where the rules and the exact deadline live. Always confirm both there before you start building.
