Let’s make games! We’re talking video games and tabletop games, small games and wildly overambitious games. The Ringling College bi-annual Game Jam is back, and open to anyone who’s interested in creating games, meeting other game developers, and having fun making a brand new game in just 48 hours. No experience necessary, just an interest in building something cool with other fine folks. 

Theme

The theme for the jam will be revealed at 7:00 pm on Friday.
