Thank you all for your patience. 

If you submitted, you can scroll right down to the winners. The voting system of the Make-a-Mystery Jam permitted the submitters of games to vote, but I brought in a few judges, including Levin Menekse, the Oscar-nominated co-writer and producer of Please Hold,  and Eric T. Roth, the host of the Bundle Buddies podcast and director of the upcoming short film Coffee & Listerine, as well as other judges.

Without further ado, here is the official list of the winners of the 2022 Make-a-Mystery Jam, including Honorable Mentions for stories that scored very highly, but did not quite win. If your name appears on this list, please claim your prize here. (Itch.io has no built-in feature for messaging submitters, so I am giving people until the end of May to claim their prize!)

If you would like personal feedback on your submission from me, you can request it here.
