Global Game Jam 

The next Global Game Jam is January 22 – 28, 2024

Global Game Jam is an event where participants come together over a weekend and build new games. Everyone is given a common theme or constraint and the fun is seeing the different, creative directions that people take the idea. In the beginning people pitch game ideas and teams are formed. The teams then build small games or prototypes and finally present them at the end of the weekend.

To look at the upcoming and past Global Game Jam’s, check out the RunJumpDev page for Global Game Jam.
