People, animals and plants, technology, cultures, and ideas: we all circulate, adapt to new environments, and help to shape them. Our world is in motion. And that’s what makes it so fascinating and appealing - but sometimes also threatening. We would like to explore this world of motion and shape the future together. Help the Leibniz Research Museums to inspire active exchange about a world in motion with your game idea!
A MAZE. Museum Online Game Jam is organized by A MAZE. and is part of the official program of A MAZE. / Berlin 2021 - 10th International Games and Playful Media Festival in collaboration with the Leibniz Research Museums.
This game jam brings together game creators with museum curators to set a new level of inspiration and knowledge and to define the museums in a playful manner. The collections, themes, objects, people, architecture, exhibition spaces, and hidden treasures of the Leibniz Research Museums should be at the center of your game idea. Rethink museums and let’s make a game about it!
Apply now for the A MAZE. Museum Online Game Jam and develop a fun, interactive, educational online museum game within 48 hours.

We love science, games and culture and we want to share our knowledge about it – with you and with the rest of the world. Watch our video: https://www.leibniz-forschungsmuseen.de/en.html
