The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world’s largest game creation event, bringing together participants from all backgrounds to design and develop games within a challenging 48-hour timeframe. The event emphasizes creativity, learning, and collaboration, offering participants a chance to explore new technologies, form teams, and build innovative projects inspired by a secret theme revealed at the start of the jam.

This year’s event will be held in a physical format, encouraging participants to work together on-site at the designated venue. While individuals may leave the venue during the event, overnight access requires returning before midnight, as campus entry is restricted between 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.. Teams are recommended to consist of 3-6 members, though variations are allowed, and participants can contribute to multiple projects.

The jam focuses on creating new games, either digital or physical, inspired by the announced theme, and allows the use of preexisting assets or code with proper acknowledgment. Submissions must include the project, a video or trailer, and a brief presentation. All games created during the event are shared under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license, promoting free sharing and collaboration for non-commercial purposes.

The event promotes a welcoming and inclusive environment, guided by a strict Code of Conduct to ensure respect among participants. With its focus on creativity, teamwork, and innovation, the Global Game Jam offers a unique opportunity for individuals to push their creative boundaries and connect with like-minded people from around the world.
