Global Game Jam is a 48 hour game-development and local community
building event of international proportions. It emphasizes
collaboration, cooperation, and thinking on your feet.

Once the theme has been announced, there will be a brainstorming time and a pitch-making opportunity. Teams will be built organically. It will be an excellent opportunity to experiment, to sharpen chops, to strut some stuff. This year we will support the creation of both videogames and paper-based games (think board games)!
