Before opening day at BlackBerry Jam Americas, several development teams took part in a BlackBerry 10 hackathon to see what apps can come out of a single day of coding. Winners were judged on several criteria and a lot of different types of apps came out of the project.

Winner of best game: RedBullFun

Winner of best app: InstaRand
InstaRand is an anonymous photo sharing app that could have a few great applications. Users upload a photo, and then see a photo uploaded by another user. The team talked about how this app could be useful such as white-labeling it for specific events so that attendees can share photos. They joked a bit about explicit content which is an obvious conversation to have when talking about the anonymous sharing on any content (like all the pants-off nudity on systems like chatroulette.com)
