This event is open to anyone, from inexperienced first-timers to veterans! Come along to make a video or board game and unleash your creativity!

This is normally not even required as we tend to have an excellent time. However, in the interest of keeping the event fun and safe we have some rules. It typically boils down to "Be excellent to each other".
At least one organiser will be on the premises at any one time, though we typically have 2 or 3.

* Organisers reserve the right to refuse addmission.
* Should an organiser find an attendee's behaviour to be inappropriate for the safe enjoyment of the gamejam the organiser will take appropriate action.
