We apologize for this very late announcement. Due to complications beyond our control, it took much longer to finalize this event before we could share it.
Please consider helping us get the word out by sharing this post or the included flyer so that we can try to get as large of a turn out a possible! And make sure you register ASAP so that we have a good headcount!
The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is a 48-hour hackathon-style event that occurs simultaneously at hundreds of locations around the world. Game developers from all ages, experience, and skillsets gather, form teams, receive a theme, and then create games together within 48 hours. There are no winners– instead there is unbridled creativity and collaboration.
This year, we are returning to UMSL for the event!
The event this year will feature:
- Comfortable classrooms to work from with power and wi-fi!
- Free food, drinks, and snacks!
- Around-the-clock access - jam for the whole 48-hours straight, uninterupted if you want!
- Nearby Free Parking available each day on campus!
