Welcome to our first game jam, $10k is on the line!

We challenge you to create an epic game. What and how you build your game is limited only by you or the team's creativity, ability, and use of MetaFab's blockchain gaming APIs. If you are curious about the world of web3, here is your excuse to take a stab at combining blockchain + gaming. MetaFab's tools are friendly to developers of all backgrounds. Web3 or Smart contract knowledge is not required and most programming languages are supported.

Theme: Crafting

1st through 3rd place prizes (in USD) as follows:

• 1st: $7.5k

• 2nd: $2.0k

• 3rd: $0.5k

Through MetaFab you can create on-chain in-game items, currencies, and more. The theme is Crafting, however, this is optional. The only requirement is that your game's core mechanic must rely on at least one MetaFab system (read through the rules).  View our Developer Documentation Here.
