The Historically Accurate Game Jam is a friendly video game-making competition with historical themes, generally taking place twice a year. In previous jams, we've covered themes such as the Cold War, The Black Death, Your Country's History
- for HAGJ8, the theme was Famous Assassinations!

The winning team of HAGJ8 received free Steam Keys for Curious Expedition, thanks to the sponsorship of its developers, Maschinen-Mensh! They were also given bragging rights with the "Guests of Honor" server role on the Official Discord Server until the next jam!
