The Global Game Jam is an annual game development event where developers create games under a specific theme within a limited time frame. This year's theme was "bubbles," allowing for a wide range of creative interpretations. Hosted by local hubs like Noisebridge, the event brings together developers in a collaborative environment, fostering creativity and innovation. Participants can create various types of games, from video and tabletop games to screenless audio experiences, showcasing the breadth of imagination in game design, with nearly 800 host sites expected by 2025.
There was a kind of interesting game about being a fireman, and you use your firehouse as a grappling hook. Another example was someone made a game using a smartphone that you would walk around.
It's organized by the Global Game Jam nonprofit, which collaborates with local hubs to bring developers together; in 2025, the Jam looked to include nearly 800 host sites around the world.
The Jam provides a space for Bay Area-based developers to collaborate, flex their creative muscles, and connect with their peers.
Typically, participants make all sorts of games for these things... The limit's your imagination.
