A game jam is an event where you form a team and create a game over the course of a weekend. We announce a theme at the start of the jam on Friday evening. Teams create a new original game based on that theme within the next 48 hours.



As usual, we will provide food at the jam. The game jam is a nonprofit event, and our goal is to keep it free for everyone! In order to make this possible, however, we rely on donations from generous attendees and sponsors. Let us take a moment to thank our 2019 sponsors:
