This jam is now over. It ran from 2018-06-01 23:00:00 to 2018-06-03 17:00:00.

You know you've always wanted to make a game.
Well, now you can.

So what is the June Jamathon?

The June Jamathon is a game jam hosted by ThoughtWorks! What's a game jam you ask? Well, it's where creative people who share a passion for art and tech all come together in one place to make games. Simple as that!

It doesn't matter if you've never made a game before. You'll have the opportunity to work with other people and learn awesome new skills! If you've ever wanted to explore how to use Unity or just want to tap into your creative zeal, the June Jamathon is a perfect opportunity.

Oh yeah, and there will be prizes, too!
