Let’s talk jam themes!

My theme ideas:

  • On the Edge
  • Calculated
  • Minimize/Maximize
  • Calm and Quiet
  • Wet/Dry
  • Powerful Force
  • Just in Time


Hope this inspires the Pursuing Pixels crew! Feel free to share your feedback on these. What do you think makes a good jam theme? To me, it’s all about the sweet spot of “restricted room for interpretation”.

ooooh, nice list here for sure!  I’m so mad because I actually had a theme in my head a few weeks back that felt perfect (at least in that specific moment, haha) — and I’ve somehow managed to completely let it slip my mind!

So this is definitely helping me both jog my memory a bit, but also giving me some fresh ideas! 💜

One thing I do know is that the theme is gonna start with a ‘P’ of course, haha — but that’s what the thesaurus is for!  :D

I kinda love piña colada because it's so specific haha. Piñata feels like it has a lot of potential too.

Just found this jam over your Twitter lol.

So some more suggestions:

Pollywog monsters,

Photoshop Prank,

I'm in a bit of a Pickle,

And of course:

Who's got the biggest 'PP' 😅

Host

hahah, I love it!  Pollywog monsters would be such a wild theme… 🐸


super stoked to have you, and can’t wait to kick off this jam soooooooon!  :D

This is the only idea I’ve had so far, but I think Prehistoric would be an interesting theme!! 

How about:

Adventure
Party/Teamwork
Quest
