Global Game Jam Honolulu
February 2, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 6:00 pm HST
The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.
Important Note:
This is not a 24 hr jam site. In past years we have noticed the teams that rested were more productive, so we ended 24 hour site availability. Please plan accordingly.
