Join us for a weekend of coding, chatting, drinking, playing, learning and having fun. Bristol Games Hub have made a special effort to run the Global Games Jam for many years because we feel it’s one of the most open, welcoming and relaxed games jam you can do on site with friends. If you have any feedback for us from last year, please get in contact here: [hello@benbyford.com](mailto:hello@benbyford.com)

We welcome people to make digital games, board games, VR / AR games, and anything else that might come under the title of an "experience".

Food and drinks:
There will be pizza Friday and Saturday nights from about 7:30pm, fruit, biscuits, tea and coffee and other drinks and bits and bobs while we jammmm. Virti and Ground Shatter have also kindly sponsored drinks on the Friday night so there will be some beers, wine, cider available to get your ideas flowing.

Equipment:
Please bring your own computers, notebooks, pens and anything else you may need to do the jam. There will be access to big bits of paper and some pens... and lots of power outlets. There will also be access to some of the screens and desktop computers on site. There is also a printer :)
