Welcome to GameJam!

From July 2^nd to 31^st your challenge is to create a video game based on a topic and other criteria. Submit your game to be reviewed by a panel of judges for a chance to win awesome prizes. GameJam is open to participants in grades 2 to 8 or their equivalents, and judging will be based on three age categories: Junior (grades 2 to 3), Intermediate (grades 4-5), and Senior (grades 6-8). You may participate as an individual or as a group of up to 3 people.

As this is an online GameJam, your video game needs to be submitted in a digital format that our judges can review online over the internet without any installation requirement. Such as hosted on platforms such as: Construct 3, Itch.io, or Scratch.

What's the topic?

The theme for GameJam is Myths and Fairy Tales! Games that are inspired by, or relating to, classic games of the past. See the Rules & Regulations for details.

What are the prizes?

This year’s GameJam prize package includes a custom trophy, a laser-cut creation, and more! See the Rules & Regulations for full prize details.
