The Historically Accurate Game Jam is a friendly video game-making competition with historical themes, generally taking place twice a year. In previous jams, we've covered themes such as the Cold War, The Black Death, Your Country's History - for HAGJ9, the theme was Espionage in the 19th Century!

The winning team of HAGJ9 received free Steam Keys for Rise of the White Sun, thanks to the sponsorship of its developers, Maestro Cinetik! They were also given bragging rights with the "Guests of Honor" and "Cross of Valor" server roles on the Official Discord Server until the next jam!

Join us on Discord if you would like to share your ideas/thoughts on historical themes in video games, or want to find teammates for the next HAGJ!
