Global Game Jam Stockholm is part of the worlds biggest game making event, the Global Game Jam. The 2016 GGJ takes place from Friday to Sunday on January 29-31th.

What is Global Game Jam?

Global Game Jam is a globally coordinated game hackathon. The global event gathers over 20 000 game enthusiasts from countries all over the world. During this one weekend, game designers, professionals and amateurs alike come together to do what they all love best: make games. The aim is to complete new games from scratch in just 48 hours.
