Meet the Winners of the GenAI x Halloween Contest

At the end of September, we launched our first one-week contest challenging developers to create a Halloween-themed GenAI experience. The contest offered $500 and a feature on the 8th Wall homepage. 

We were so impressed with the GenAI experiences our 8th Wall developers created and are excited to announce the winner and highlight two of the other submissions!

Grand Prize Winner

If the jump scares and thrill of Halloween isn’t for you then Peter Locharernkul’s “Ha Ha Halloween” experience is perfect for you! He used a combination of face effects and the GenAI module to create unique visuals to accompany wacky PUN-chlines to various classic Halloween-themed jokes. This experience will have you laughing over and over again, check it out here.

This multiplayer experience stands as a groundbreaking multi-platform multiplayer WebAR game, fueled by the advancements of 8thWall and its Metaversal Deployment, complemented by the innovative Shared-AR module. Players can join via their mobile, desktop, or VR devices to team up or take on the role of Guardian and disrupt the other players.
