POWER UP! Game Jam for Women 2025

PLEASE NOTE: The Wāhine Fuelled Tech co-leaders are supporting this event as a great opportunity for wāhine/NB folk to get involved in game design. We are not the event organisers.
This event requires an RSVP at www.powerupjam.com - you will not be able to RSVP via Meet Up.

POWER UP! Game Jam for Women is back for 2025 – bigger, bolder, and global! From 24–28 October, we’re inviting women and non-binary people aged 18+ from around the world to connect, collaborate, and create amazing games online over four days.
Whether you're a game developer from any discipline, a hobbyist or simply curious about how games are made, this is your chance to explore your creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment. Our mission is to give participants the confidence, skills and connections to keep creating long after the jam ends. We’ll also host a series of pre-jam webinars to help participants sharpen their skills, meet other jammers and get inspired.
In 2025 POWER UP! is going global and amplifying the voices of women in the games industry worldwide. Our event is fully online, making it easy to join from any part of the world.

Beyond the fun of creating games, POWER UP! is about representation and visibility. We want to see more women telling their stories, sharing their unique perspectives, and shaping the future of games and the game industry.

Join us. Support us. Share our mission.
