The itch.io School-Themed Jam is an online game development event. This jam encourages participants to create and submit original games centered around a school theme. It's a great opportunity for game developers, designers, and enthusiasts to showcase their creativity and talent.

Well you can start by joining our jam above, and we recommend a couple of days of brainstorming before starting to develop. After that, you can start making your own submission under any engine or programming language. You then come back to our page and submit your game.

No, the School-Themed Jam welcomes participants of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned game developer or just starting out, you are encouraged to join the jam and share your creation. Jams like these are an excellent opportunity to learn and grow as a developer, and the supportive community can provide valuable feedback and guidance.

Yes this can be a group project with your friends. But also a solo project so have fun with it!
