The game jam was originally organized by Howest DAE during the creaweek. A week that focused on exploring the creativity of people in various domains. One of the activities was a game jam. DAE Studios offered its support to bring the game jam to the next level and open it up to everyone in Belgium. 

Join the first major physical Belgian game jam

The game jam provides a great opportunity for developers to experiment with new ideas, meet other developers, and challenge themselves to create a game in a short amount of time. It is also a great way for developers to showcase their skills and get feedback on their work. The upcoming game jam is sure to be a fun and exciting event for all the participants and spectators.

A physical game jam at a unique location

We are so excited that we can host a physical event after so many months of lockdowns and virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be wonderful to interact with people in person again and experience the energy and excitement of a live event. The Unwrap game jam will be held in “The Square”, one of Howest’s campuses. We expect over 200+ participants! 

Did we mention that free pizza will be provided during the game jam? Another reason to participate, who doesn’t love free pizza? 

A glorious showcase moment

On Thursday 16th, at 3 pm, we’ll wrap up with a grand showcase moment! Each team will receive the opportunity to present its game to a jury of renowned Belgian industry professionals. You will receive points from each jury member and, as such, could be elected as a winner by the jury. 

Next to a jury, your team could also win the community prize! Your games will be live on itch.io to play. May the odds be forever in your favor.
