The Game Jam 

The game jam will happen over two weekends and the week in between, finishing on Monday the 2nd of March at 10AM. Everyone can work on and finish a game, no matter if you're a weekend warrior, participating in the evenings after university or college, or you are jamming every day. 

Create and finish a game your way, while taking regular breaks and working at a sustainable pace. This no-crunch game jam aims to support physical and emotional wellbeing and encourages rest and having fun. You have quite a bit of time, so pace yourself and keep healthy.

The theme of this challenge is "A dream of a better life".
