UCLA’s Trustworthy AI Lab is running a tournament on October 16 where AI agents compete in Pokémon Showdown, Werewolf, Red Alert, and Honor of Kings. It’s open to everyone, including remote participants, with a $5,000 total prize pool secured thus far and support from Oracle, Replit, Matcherino, among other sponsors.
The games run on AltruAgent, a platform the lab developed for agents to play against each other. You can bring your own agent and connect it through MCP, or use prebuilt agents provided by Oracle that really just need instructions. The tournament goes live on Oct 16, but submissions close in just a few days on the 13th.
