We challenge you to make a game in ONE week! 🕹️

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 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.

But what if I'm new to game dev? 😱

Give it a shot anyway! It's worth a try and you'll probably learn a lot! In fact we've made a video specifically on how to get ready for your first game jam! Even if you don't finish in time, you can't ask for a better way to practice.

Are teams allowed? 🤝

Teaming up is also 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.
