**🙌 We are back! It’s been quite a while since our last GameCraft in Dublin which was… 2019!!!**

🙏 Huge thanks to [Bryan Duggan](https://bryanduggan.org/) and [TU Dublin Grangegorman](https://www.tudublin.ie/explore/our-campuses/grangegorman/) for hosting us back at St. Laurences’s Church.

For those new to game jams, it’s an event where a theme is announced and you try to make a game based on the theme in a silly amount of time - in this case one day. It’s a great way to try out an idea, or break out of a perfectionist mindset. Most of all it’s a great way to have fun and meet like minded people.
