June Solstice Game Jam 2026 Winner

Save the Sun

Proves an AI can be a live, fallible opponent without ever being trusted with the truth.

A rune stone blazing with golden light at sunrise while Sköll, the great wolf, watches from a dark ridge.

A SvelteKit app on Cloud Run where a deterministic engine owns every fact while Gemini interprets Asks, plays the wolf, transcribes speech, and voices both characters — never seeing the secret. Provably winnable every round, keyboard- and screen-reader-complete.

Outcome

A spoken Oracle and wolf, and a debug stream that shows the engine, not Gemini, holding the secret. Took Best Google AI Usage at the June Solstice Game Jam 2026.
