I'm a little confused about the theme, do I need to create a game about a Tradition? Like giving present on christmas?

Look up synonyms for tradition or traditional and opposite words. It could be about breaking or struggling with tradition like Romeo and Juliet.

You can interpret the game as you see fit. You can make it about a tradition of a specific country, time of the year, or even past traditions such as medieval knights' traditions or traditions of different places and times. Even fictional traditions of alien species or something that you create as a narrative. Just take into consideration that adherence to the theme will be one of the factors the game will be judged upon.

Here's the first paragraph of Wikipedia about tradition:

A tradition is a belief or behavior (folk custom) passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. A component of cultural expressions and folklore, common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word tradition itself derives from the Latin tradere literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping. While it is commonly assumed that traditions have an ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time. Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways.   More Info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradition


Take the time to brainstorm and think about a compelling idea that adjusts to the theme.
