The 49er Game Jam is a game development event open to all skill levels and open to all students. A theme will be presented at the start of the game jam, and then you will be set loose to design and create an entire game based around that theme. You'll have a total of 48 hours (from August 13th @ 5 PM to August 15th @ 5 PM) to put forth your best effort!

This event is open to people of all experience levels and talents! Typically participants will want to work in groups; if you want to work solo, that's fine too! And if you're looking for a new group, plenty of others will be looking for group members too, so don't be worry! You can reach out to them on our Discord Page!
