Why Dragon.rentals is the ultimate team-building experience
We handle all the setup, infrastructure, and technical preparation. Your team can focus entirely on building and competing, while we ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Track your progress with live rankings, bankroll monitoring, unfilled orders, and real-time dragon-related news via ZMQ. See how you stack up against competitors, monitor game time, and make data-driven strategic decisions with instant market intelligence.
Unlike traditional hackathons, Dragon.rentals values every role. Developers, designers, managers, finance experts, and logistics coordinators all have crucial contributions to make.
Support for in-person, hybrid, and fully remote teams ensures that every team can participate regardless of location. Perfect for distributed teams and remote-first companies.
Every team receives licenses, permits, infrastructure, startup capital, server access, proprietary tools for order processing, starter code, and a detailed handbook covering all product types, attributes, seasonal variations, API endpoints, and business mechanics.
Manage multiple product types with varying characteristics, track resource management systems, optimize infrastructure costs, analyze customer demographics, handle seasonal variations, process orders, optimize operational efficiency, manage marketing campaigns, and maintain daily operational readiness. Every decision impacts your bottom line and competitive position.
Teams learn to communicate effectively under pressure, breaking down silos and building stronger cross-functional relationships. The high-stakes environment forces genuine collaboration that translates back to your workplace.
Employees gain hands-on experience with web development, RESTful API integration, server management, ZMQ
real-time communication, data decryption, UI/UX design, project management, financial optimization,
logistics coordination, and business operations. Teams work with real APIs, handle complex data
structures, manage state, optimize costs, and make critical business decisions—all skills that directly
apply to their work.
The fun, competitive environment energizes teams and creates lasting memories. Employees return to work with
renewed enthusiasm and stronger connections to their colleagues.
Teams learn to think creatively and solve problems quickly. The compressed timeframe and unexpected
challenges build resilience and adaptability—skills that are invaluable in today's fast-paced business
environment.
This isn't a simple hackathon—it's a complete business simulation with real-world complexity. Here's what makes it extraordinary:
Manage multiple product categories, each with unique characteristics, operational costs, and seasonal availability that affect inventory management and pricing strategy.
Manage multiple attributes per product including type, characteristics, and dynamic resource levels. Products require maintenance while in use and resource management while in storage.
Infrastructure costs scale with quantity and require ongoing maintenance. Products need storage when not in use—proper resource allocation is critical to prevent operational losses!
Process customer orders using our proprietary tools. Orders require processing—you must decode them to understand customer preferences and match the right inventory.
Invest in customer analytics to understand demographics. Customers have specific preferences for product characteristics. Match the right inventory or lose the order. Demand grows from a few customers to hundreds by year's end, testing your team's ability to scale.
Live updates for rankings, financial performance, news, operational metrics, and business time. Make decisions based on real-time market intelligence, not stale data.
Every operational action has associated costs. Optimize your processes or watch your budget disappear. Learn real-world cost management and resource optimization.
Maintain daily operational readiness with precise timing requirements. Include system verification and inventory counts. Fail to do this and you won't receive orders—teaching teams the importance of operational discipline.
This is real complexity that teaches real skills. Your team will learn more in 8 hours than in weeks of traditional training.
Master UI/UX design, responsive design, and seamless collaboration with backend teams. Bring cutting-edge UI practices back to your projects.
