We're back in January to host another Global Game Jam! Friday through Sunday, teams will compete locally and globally to make a themed game in just 48 hours. Bring your team with you or make friends with some strangers and form a group. No experience is necessary, so just come on out and join the fun! In fact, less experienced developers should seize this opportunity to work with and learn from some veterans.

Thanks to ASU and the awesome people at the Digital Culture Studio, we have an excellent space for jammers! We give you the space, the grub, and the support - you compete against other teams and the globe to make awesome games!

Sunday night, after the jam, we'll head over to Endgame Bar on Mill for the Game CoLab Demo Night. Here you'll be able to mix it up with industry veterans, local game developers, and your fellow jammers!

We’re looking for additional sponsors for food and beverages, awards, hardware, software licenses, and media support. If you’re interested, or know someone who is, please email austin@gamecolab.org.

In return we offer credit and publicity, as well as a chance to chat with developers at the after-jam Demo Night at Endgame! We want this event to be a large community effort to assist game developers and the future of this medium in Phoenix and Arizona. Join us!

Big thanks to our current sponsors!

PARKING INFO:

The best option for parking is the garage directly behind the Digital Culture Studio.

Take University to Forest Mall, then Forest Mall to Tyler Mall. Parking should be free for the entire weekend.

Another option is to park off of Tyler Mall in the paid parking lot. You can also park on street, but this should be a last resort as there is minimal parking availability there.
