Global Game Jam @Cardiff Met

After two years of successful GGJ sites run independently, GameDev Cardiff and Cardiff Metropolitan University are collaborating to bring you the largest public Global Game Jam site in South Wales.

An excellent opportunity for those with a broad range of experience, from students, to hobbyists, to professionals to collaborate in the world's biggest collaborative game-making event and a great venue for supporting such creativity.

This Jam will take place in the “Learning Lab” in F-Block of Cardiff Met’s campus in Llandaff, accessed via the A-Block corridor and will be open to both students and the general public. Nearby parking is pay and display. Also accessible via Cardiff Bus routes 62,63,66 from the city centre.
