Games that rely more on writing or assets than gameplay are exceptions, so engines can work well in this context. Giving people a time limit though is just asking for mediocre entries, especially from people who haven't developed anything before. Making a festival type thing at the end of the year where people can share what they've spent a lot of time making would be better than a "challenge".

Kind of defeats the purpose of playing a game. A suicide ending could be considered the best one.
