Welcome to the Christmas Scream Jam!

This holiday season, we’re diving into the eerie side of Christmas, bringing chills instead of cheer! The Christmas Scream Jam invites you to explore the darker side of the holidays with just a touch of Christmas—whether that’s through mysterious lights, unsettling gifts, or haunting encounters in the snow. The goal is to create a horror game that’s tied to Christmas but avoids the traditional holiday theme.

 Jam Guidelines

Christmas-Tinged Horror: Your game should have a loose connection to the holiday season. Use eerie winter settings, holiday decor, or subtle Christmas references—anything that builds holiday dread without relying on classic festive themes.

Teams Are Allowed: Join solo or work with a team! Collaboration is encouraged to bring your chilling holiday vision to life.
