Global Game Jam Antwerp is returning for the 15th time!
Global Game Jam is a worldwide event taking place every year in January where the creation of games is celebrated. Antwerp is just one of many locations all over the globe! 🌍
Each edition there is a secret theme that will be revealed at the start of the event. We provide you with a location, food and a separate sleeping area so you can work your magic during these intense 48 hours.
Even if you have never developed a game you can still participate at this event. We welcome all people with all kinds of skills. If you’re a musician, developer, writer, artist or are simply interested in creating games, don’t hesitate and join!
You can find some useful resources which can help you during the jam here.
