DEADLINE: VERY LATEST END OF HALLOWEEN

This is a jam for small, punchy, short-format horror tabletop games! By 'horror' we mean anything spooky, horrifying, or halloween-themed. By 'short-format' we mean really short, not just 1-page short, but short like these:

You can search online to find sizes (aside from tweets, which are always 280 characters at most). Sometimes there are several different common sizes, or different sizes in different countries.

You can go with any format you like, but keep the text short! For example, you could go with a trifold pamphlet with only one fold of text, or a mini-zine with a few pages of text, but use the rest of the space for art, play aids, etc (or spread the text over the whole trifold/mini-zine/etc. if you want). There's no hard and fast rule on how much text you can have—just keep it in the spirit of the jam.

RULES

  • You can submit any number of games in any language as long as they fit the theme and limits of the jam (short-format horror)
  • Include appropriate content notices both on the game's store page and in its text
  • Bigoted content of any kind is not allowed and will be removed from the jam

ACCESSIBILITY

Here are some easy ways of boosting your game's accessibility:

  • Plain text (e.g. .txt) versions for text-to-speech apps
  • Community copies and/or opt-in discounts
