What is it?

Join us and spend a day hacking away on a game! At the Milwaukee Game Jam, meet area developers, students, and hobbyists who are interested in game design and development. Work on a long term project, or collaborate with attendees and create something new. Creators retain 100% of their products/ideas.

Free food, a chance to win prizes, and connect with your community. All while creating a game!

FAQ

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Nope! We prefer that our attendees be able to create on their own, but anyone who is interested in game development is welcome.

Where will the event take place?

The location is subject to change depending on attendance. Currently, the location is set to be the Todd Wehr Auditorium on the MSOE Campus. If a location change is needed, adequate communication will be given to participants.

Where can I park?

Please park in the Milwaukee B and Broadway Lots right across the street from the Todd Wehr. No parking permits are needed!

Can I attend even if I don't have game development experience?

Of course! Now's the time to give it a shot. You can try your luck at meeting new people at the event, or use the time to teach yourself.

Can I work on a previous project?

Yep! If you choose to present at the end, just say where you started at the beginning of the event.

What kind of prizes will there be?

Prizes will be both physical and digital, and are generously donated from game companies that we know and love. Currently, we have some awesome prize donations from Supergiant Games (the creators of Bastion and Transistor), Re-Logic (Terraria), Torn Banner (Chivalry), The Behemoth (Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater), Paradox Interactive (Cities: Skylines), Hinterland Games (The Long Dark), Nordic Games, Electronic Arts, Arrowhead Games Studio (Magicka, Gauntlet, and Helldivers) and FTL: Faster Than Light.
