PlayBowldem on Reddit
Reddit Games & Puzzles Hackathon 2026
What it is
Bowldem reimagined for Reddit. Instead of guessing cricketers by attributes, players see a T20 World Cup match venue and scorecard (team names hidden) and guess the Man of the Match in 5 tries.
How it works
- Daily puzzles: 60 curated T20 World Cup matches, one new puzzle each day
- Feedback system: Each guess reveals whether the player was in the match (P), on the same team (T), played the same role (R), or is the correct answer (M)
- Leaderboard: Stats tracking and competitive ranking via Redis
- Shareable results: Emoji grid summaries for sharing on Reddit
Built for Reddit
Runs natively on Reddit's Devvit platform as an interactive post type. Full client/server architecture with React frontend, Express backend, and Redis for persistent stats and leaderboard data. Built for the Reddit Games & Puzzles Hackathon 2026.
Status: Hackathon submission
Stack: TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, Express, Redis, Devvit
