Create a game in 48 hours!
Create a game in 48 hours!
The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game creation event taking place at physical and online locations around the world.
A game jam is similar to a hackathon where people come together for a short period of time to create games around a central theme revealed at the start of the jam.
Jammers are invited to explore new technology tools, trying on new roles in development and testing their skills to do something that requires them to design, develop create, test and make a new game.
The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.
The GGJ is rooted in the idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we can come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using the universal language of video games.
Join us and others around the Capital Region of New York, and create something new!
