Description
Create a game in 48 hours! The yearly returning Global Game Jam will take place in Nairobi, Kenya this year for the 1st time! The event will be held in the beautiful Nairobi Garage, PineTree Plaza, 8th Floor Off Ngong Road on Kamburu Drive.
What it’s all about
The goal of the Global Game Jam is to create a game in 48 hours in a multidisciplinary team. The only guideline is the theme which is announced at the start of the event. It is possible to create both digital games and board games.
At the end of the jam, all games are presented and people can play each others games. An Amazing jury will listen to your pitches and announce the top winners.
All games are developed as open source. The end product and source files are uploaded to the main site on globalgamejam.org.
Teams
It is possible to participate with a preformed team, but you can also create a team on the spot. There’s usually a good mix between preformed teams and individual participants and usually the preformed teams are also open to extra team members.
Facilities
There will be a small kitchen on location with a microwave, fridge, coffee machine and some other basic kitchen equipment. You can’t prepare food there, but you can warm things up if you want to. However, we expect this will not be needed since there will be plenty of food and drinks.
Please bring your own equipment:
- Computer/Laptop
- Power extension chord
- UTP cable (wi-fi is also available)
- Headset
- Controllers
- Cables
There is good wi-fi coverage on location.
Food
Meals, coffee and tea will be provided on site and are included with the entry ticket.
