Game Jams

Games Now! Jams are hybrid game jams bringing people together to make games over one weekend. Participants will create games at Aalto University, with satellite groups at partner schools and people joining online. Everyone is welcomed! No previous game-making experience is needed: come with an idea, find a team, and make something together.


All submitted projects that include a video are eligible for the exhibition selection. Semifinalists receive feedback and time to further develop their games before the finalists are chosen. The finalists will be exhibited at Kumma Gallery in May 2027, where the winner will be announced.


Join our Discord server to stay tuned for game jam updates!
