A 'Game Jam' is a event held online &/or in person where participants are challenged with creating a video game from scratch based around a selected theme....
Depending on the rules & format of the event, participants may have the option to work independently, or within a team & are giving anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks to complete/publish their game & have it submitted. While a majority of Game Jams are run as game making exercise's for indie developers, many are promoted as contests that offer rewards & prizes to the winners.

WHAT IS A GAME JAM?
Jan. 17th - Jan. 31st
Nov. 8th - Nov. 25th
August 23, 2026' - August 30, 2026'
The Brackeys Game Jam runs twice a year and is a fun way to try out ideas, meet other devs and talk about your games and their progress. And of course the best part is that in the end you will have made and finished a game that you can share with your friends, family and fellow developers.
​
The game you make must be based on the jam theme which is announced when the jam starts. After the jam is over your game will get rated on by other participants and you will get to vote on other games.
​
Teams are allowed and encouraged! Visit the jam_find_a_team channel on Discord to find someone to team up with. We recommend that you keep your team under 4 members; It can be hard to coordinate more in just a week. Other than what we recommend, there is no team size restriction.
