Welcome to the fifth edition of inkJam!

The inkJam is an annual community organised jam focused on storytelling and narrative games written in ink.

What's the theme?

Incredible, yet...

When does it begin? The jam begins on Friday, September 2nd, 9PM CEST.

Who can enter? Everyone is more than welcome, either alone or as part of a team.

Is there a theme? Yes, and it will be announced as soon as the jam begins.

What tools can I use? As long as you are using ink in a way or another, you can use absolutely anything! You can find a (probably incomplete) list of engines and integrations here.

Should I write my game in English? You can write in any language you like. Though, keep in mind that fewer people will probably be able to try a game only available in French or Czech than one available in English.

Where can I find help? You can join the community on inkle's Discord server, where a dedicated channel has been created.

How does the voting work? Once the jam is over (on Monday, September 5th, 9PM CEST), the public will have a twelve-days period to review the games.⁣


It goes without saying, inkJam is an event where everybody should feel welcome and safe, no matter who they are.
No hateful comments, language or visuals will be tolerated. Both in the games submitted, and the communication platforms used during the event.
