A live, head-to-head design-build competition. A random prompt drops, the clock starts, and two builders go head-to-head in front of a live audience./ Live every Friday · Any AI tools · One winner
Friday Face Off is for designers, developers, and AI builders who want to test their speed against the best — founders, freelancers, students, and pros.
No prep. No templates. No second takes. Every match is two builders, one surprise brief, and a thirty-minute clock — building a real, working site live, in front of everyone.
Anyone can polish a portfolio. The Arena is different — you build in real time, under pressure, in front of a live audience. No editing, no do-overs, no faking it. What people watch you ship is exactly what you can do. That’s proof of work — and in a world full of AI-polished everything, it’s the only signal people actually trust.
Designers, founders, and clients watch every match live. One great build can put you on the map overnight.
Every match is public, on the record, and replayable. Your best work keeps working for you long after the clock stops.
Anyone looks sharp with a week and a Figma file. Thirty minutes, live, is where real skill shows.
Jobs, referrals, collabs, and an audience — the people who can change your career are already in the room.
In a world of AI-generated everything, proof of work is the strongest signal you can send.
Drop your details and we’ll line you up for an upcoming Friday Face Off. Spots each week are limited.
