Age Group

Part of the requirements for the jam mention that the games will be played by children. Is there a rough age group that we should use as a rule of thumb? (6+, 8+, 10+, etc?)

Thanks!

The rule of thumb is basically not to use curse words, sexual content, or gratuitous violence.

Your game should aim to be universally enjoyable without the this type of content. No specific age range of the audience.

That helps a lot! Thank you!
Using that as the rule opens up the games to be a bit more complex in terms of story telling. I was thinking that with the children rule in there that story would need to be simple enough for younger ages.

I'll clarify the rule a bit later on the main page to make what I've said here explicit.

Good luck in your adventure building!
