Have you ever wanted to build a serious game that will knock everybody's socks off?

Well this is not the the game jam for you!

This is where you are expected to submit a half-baked, hard to play, somewhat thought-out puzzle game in a language you've never used and with graphics that resemble the first pong game.

Stipulations

• It must be built using PuzzleScript (see https://www.puzzlescript.net/).
• You  only have your lunch breaks after you slurp your cup-noodles and walk your loop around the building. You can certainly work on it after-hours if you are really digging it or you do other things during lunch.
• You can use all month or you can submit something that took you only a few hours -- it is up to you how much effort you want to put into this.
• The theme will be announced on the day the jam begins.  It is not required but it would be nice if your puzzle-game incorporated some aspect of the theme. The theme for this jam is "Don't Go Outside!"
• 'Join' the jam now to get a reminder when it starts. Creating a login will help you leave feedback on other entries.
•  The only other rule is that you can't put anything in your game that would interest the HR department.

Submissions

• Submit your puzzle-game anytime.
• Submit it over-and-over if you want to show off your progress or get feedback.
• Submit at the end of the jam even if even if it is incomplete. You get some feedback and a free lunch out of it, after all!
• A week after submissions are due, we will have a lunch together and everyone who submits an entry will get one of those 'Best [Fill in the blank]' awards.
• You will want to check out everybody's submission so that you know what we are talking about when we give out awards.
• You are encouraged to submit positive comments on others' submissions. We want them to want to do this again sometime.
