jame gam — by hack club

yes! jame gam is run by Hack Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Hack Club is supported by partners like GitHub, AMD, NASA, FUTO, Proton, and more. click here to see some of the game jams we've run in the past!

perfect, that's kinda the point :) the best way to get good at making games is to do game jams! we'll point you at tools and you figure out the rest as you go.

we run jams every month! if you can't make this one, you're still welcome in the community, and we'd love to see you at the next one. most of the jams we join are 4-8 days long, so you can also join in the middle!

good. everyone who puts in effort gets a prize, that's the whole point :)

not a problem, jame gam is international & i'll ship you stickers wherever you live

nope, but if you want one, you can find one in the hack club slack!

if you want, yes! just make sure you credit everything you didn't make yourself in your game's description :)

you may not use generative ai for art or audio. you can use ai to help you code, but it's mildly discouraged :p

sorry! jame gam is only open to those between the ages of 13 and 18 :(

hackatime is optional for jame gam, but if you track your time, you'll get sent a special bonus sticker! this is a test, so this might change in the future

i drew it just for this, you can download it here

this site was built using sveltekit 5. i drew all the art by hand using aseprite. the doodles on the edges were drawn by tongyu and willsbuilds, and the original 3d shark model is by tongyu. the font for the email input is cs marylin pixel.
