Following on from the success of the last six years of this game jam, we're super excited to see what's created this year. We have accumulated a fantastic collection of games made. Previous years submissions can be viewed following the links below. #RainbowJam21, #RainbowJam20, #RainbowJam19, #RainbowJam18, #RainbowJam17 and #RainbowJam16

Rainbow Game Jam encourages participants to create games exploring and celebrating identity, gender, sexuality, sex, life, Intersectionality, being queer, yourself and your community, pride, protests, and love! Games are for everyone, and anyone can create games!
