Entry: 50k. All proceeds go towards renting the space we need and the prize pool.
Eligibility and participation
Anyone can participate in this game jam. Whether this is your first time working on a game, or if you are a hardened veteran, there is a spot for everyone!
Teams can be solo or group based, but your project will be voted on as a group, not an individual.

The theme will be announced at the start of the jam (10am 3rd October 2025).
Games must be created from scratch during the jam (except for pre-made assets where permitted).
Ideally, all of the development should be done at the location of the jam in order to keep the collaborative spirit alive.
Duration: 10am 3rd October -> 3pm 4th October.

The game executable or playable link.
A short description of the game and how it fits the theme.
