A game jam is similar to a hackathon where people come together for a short period of time to create games around a central theme revealed at the start of the jam. The structure of The GGJ is usually that everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced. All jammers worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed by Sunday afternoon.

Devitt Upkins will be the host for this event.

The FedEx Institute of Technology is located on the University of Memphis campus. There is a paid parking garage directly across from the building. We will be in room 225. 

You have to bring your own computer for the game jam.

hours: Fri: 5pm - 10pm Sat: 9am - 10pm, Sun: 9am-5pm
