Show off your frighteningly fantastic game development skills in SPIN's Halloween Horror Game Jam 2025!

What does the Halloween-theme mean?

Theme words for the Halloween theme will be revealed at our launch live stream. Make sure to tune in to our launch stream 30 minutes before the Jam starts and see what THREE THEME WORDS will inspire your spooky halloween game. You can choose to base your theme off one of the words, two, or all of them.

Here are the rules for this Game Jam:

• No Nudity or sexual content
• Violence is allowed, however nothing too graphic. “Aesthetic blood” and light cartoon violence is allowed (blood in a room, fighting), but nothing too obscene (brutal depictions of dismemberment). If you’re not sure what’s too violent, check with a mod.

• Any kind of racism or discrimination will not be tolerated, in game or within the community.
• You are allowed to use free assets, but no copyrighted products in your final project.
• No plagiarism, No AI Art or AI generated programming (Chat GPT or similar can be used for debugging)
