The Play to Learn jam is all about... you guessed it!

PLAYING TO FETCHING LEARN!

You gotta be in the arena, playing the game, to learn the game.

And if you've ever wanted to build a game, you gotta START to learn how.

I want to see first ever games where you taught yourself something amazing.

I want to see amazing games from highly skilled devs.

I want to see games that teach amazing principles in simple and powerful ways.

Whether you're teaching yourself by building the game, or
teaching others WITH the game, the Play to Learn Jam is for you!

We have 3 criteria for this jam:

1. Fun - How fun is the game (the more fun, the longer lasting the learning)

2. Learning - What did you learn playing (or building) the game? This could be how to play, a new idea, a mathematical concept...

3. Creativity - Did the game bring in any novel ideas? Force you to rethink something you thought about life?

I'm excited to see what you create!

Let's PLAY TO LEARN!
