What?
48 Secret Jam is a game jam where you make a game in 48 hours with a topic that won't be released untill the start of the jam.
How to win?
you dot have to be an artist or super musician to win. all you need is a great idea that is very fun to play and has to do something with the topic. jury's will be voting on your game, each game will be played 15 min by the jury, unless the game is very fun to play. so you could make a long storyline game, but i recommend not taking the risk.
When?
the 48 Secret Jam will be held 8 times each year. these are the next 8:
48 Secret Jam 2017 #1: 28 Juli / 30 Juli 48 Secret Jam 2017 #2: 8 september / 10 september 48 Secret Jam 2017 #3: 20 october / 22 october 48 Secret Jam 2017 #4: 8 december / 10 december 48 Secret Jam 2018 #5: 26 januari / 28 januari 48 Secret Jam 2018 #6: 9 maart / 11 maart 48 Secret Jam 2018 #7: 21 april / 23 april 48 Secret Jam 2018 #8: 7 juni / 9 juni
The Topic
the topic will be randomely chosen by the jury. when the jam starts all the participants will receive an email that contains the topic.
Rules
- you may not work on this with teams bigger then 2 persons

- all the assets have to be made during the jam
- when the jam starts and the topic is the same as that big game you recently made, you have to start a new project. you may not resume an old project.
of course none of the jury's can really check any of this. but please, to keep this contest fair, make sure youre following the rules. if you win by not using the rules, you didn't really win. of course no one knows, but deep inside you know you didn't win.
