Honolulu Jam @ UHM

One weekend, one challenge: Build a team, and make a game in 48 hours!

*Please RSVP early! Tickets are free, and will be used to book additional space if necessary.

Global Game Jam is a weekend-long game hackathon held around the world. Join other game enthusiasts at all skill levels to build a team and make a game based on a secret theme to be revealed at the opening ceremony.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa site will be joined by coders from the Association For Computer Machinery, audiovisual talent from the Academy for Creative Media, university faculty, and guests from Hawaii's game development/creative community.

Consider registering on the Honolulu Global Game Jam site as well!

FAQs

I don't have any skills related to video games.

This is a game jam, not a video game jam, so board and card games count! If you think you can make something fun, you're welcome to come. Great storytellers are welcome, too!

Will there be food and snacks available?

The event is free, so there is no budget for food, but we'll put together food runs at the event for people who want to throw in.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

The University of Hawaii has parking available for a flat $6 all-day fee.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
