WELCOME!

The March Game Jam 2025 is presented by Chalmers University, Göteborg University, Gamelab Lindholmen, GGG and Gamedev GBG! 

In this game jam, you get to make a game based on a certain theme in just a few days! After submitting your game, there will be a panel of judges who will vote on the games.  

Game jams are a fun way to challenge yourself and meet other people interested in making games. It is a safe space to create and discuss games. The best part is that in the end you will have made and finished a game that you can share with friends, family and your fellow developers. Are you new to game development and don't think you can finish a game in such a short amount of time? Well, give it a shot anyway,  it's worth a try and you'll probably learn a lot!

Please note there are no limits to the type of game you can create for the jam, as long as it fits the theme! Some examples could be computer games, VR games, AR games, board games, card games, interactive experiences, interactive stories etc.

Join our discord server for any notifications about the jam, meet other participants and hype yourself up before the event!

The group size is recommended to be 5 people maximum.

We are also hybrid-friendly, after the opening ceremony, so those who want to participate online can do so. But be aware that prizes are only given out in person!

THEME

To be revealed at the opening ceremony!

PRIZES

The games will be rated into 5 categories: Game Design, Fun, Theme, Audio and Graphics.  This is a short variety of game dev aspects, so don't worry if you can't hit all of them perfectly! Try to be creative and stick to the theme though!

After the submission period is over, the panel of judges will complete a let's play. Afterwards, the judges vote and then reveal the prize winners at the closing ceremony!

As always we wish all of you the best of luck with your games and most importantly; make sure to have fun! :D 

Do note for submissions, if you've submitted your game, do not delete it, if you delete your game you are out of luck. Making changes after the deadline is not possible. Make sure your game is uploaded to itch.io if you want to participate.  For physical-based games, pictures of the boardgame (or other) with the rules uploaded to an itch page will be sufficient. Please do remember to upload to the itch submission before the deadline! Otherwise, you cannot get any votes on your game!

Winners of each category will receive a special note at the top of this game jam page, and be given special tags in our discord server! But that will not be all!
