Vibe Jam and AI game jam winners

Game jams where AI coding agents write the code have produced most of the best playable AI browser games. Hosted by Pieter Levels (Flight Simulator) and sponsored by Cursor, Bolt.new, Glif and Tripo AI, Vibe Jam 2025 and Cursor Vibe Jam 2026 required at least 90% AI-written code and instant browser playability. Alongside itch.io's AI Browser Game Jam, these competitions turned vibe coding from a weekend novelty into a real game scene.

Below is our playable archive of 20 jam winners and category awardees—complete with the AI tools, game engines, build times and creator credits we verified from each project.
