WHAT IS GAME JAMS?
A game jam is a contest where participants try to make a video game from scratch. The contest duration usually ranges from 24 to 72 hours.
In 2012, we organised the first Unity Game Jam in Hong Kong. There are over 200 participants joined the first ever International Game Jam co-organised with local Universities and Unity Technologies.
A team of two industrial elites from France won the Grand prize in the Unity Game Jam. There are experts from Unity Technologies to chair the training sessions.
The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is an annual distributed game jam originally developed to bring together the elements of creativity, collaboration and experimentation. At each site, participants gather to develop ideas, form small groups, create new, creative, innovative games, and present them to their peers and the global community, all in a limited time span.
In January 2019, GGJ generated teams in 860 sites in 113 countries, who over the course of one weekend created 9,010 games.
