A chill (pun intended) jam for aspiring game devs over winter break, aimed towards UNC students primarily but open to all!

Bored during winter break? Participate in the 2025 Winter Break Jam! 

Anyone is eligible to participate. No restrictions on team size. You can make a game from scratch, or you can finish a game you've already started! Have fun!

The optional theme is: Lost Connection

Voting starts at the end of the jam (Jan 4th) and ends on Jan 15th.

No AI-generated art or music is allowed. Asset packs and prewritten code are allowed. Using AI to help with programming is permitted so long as it is ultimately educational for you.

Voting criteria:

• Enjoyment
• Presentation
• Creativity

This jam is hosted by the UNC Chapel Hill Game Development Club.
