At the Global Game Jam, tens of thousands of people create games together over the course of 48 hours. In Berlin, you'll be with 99 other participants doing the same - get together in teams, work on a common theme, and create your digital or analogue game. Global Game Jam is a wonderful opportunity for participants to expand their horizons, challenge themselves, and meet new people. Right away you will start developing a playable game with strangers who share the same passion as you in just two days. At the end you are tired but happy.

Q: What should I bring to the event?
A: Please bring your laptop, chargers, and any gaming equipment you might need.

A: This is a fully catered event. There will be full range of vegan and vegetarian meals and snacks as well as drinks for the weekend.
Q: What if I get tired?
A: Great question! We will have a quiet room where you can lie down and have a nap. Don't forget to bring some sleeping gear though!
Q: Do I need to have game dev experience to participate?
A: Not really - everyone can join in. You will work in a team where you can help out. Or you can do board games if you want. We'll have some materials for that but better also bring your own!
