About

What is a Game Jam?

A game jam is a short event where people come together to build a game in teams! In this game jam you'll have roughly 48 hours to build any game you can dream of: from video games to board games to ARGs.

Who is invited?

All current University of Cambridge students are welcome, and we encourage you to invite your friends from any discipline! We expect the average team to include programmers, artists, sound designers, and writers - but this is very game dependent and people are encouraged to do whatever they find fun. We hope to create an inclusive and welcoming environment, so that people from any background can enjoy the event.
