Global Game Jam @ LSU

Innovation - Experimentation - Collaboration: 

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game creation taking place in physical locations across the globe. Think of it as a 48 hour hackathon focused on game development around a theme. GGJ’s mission is to stimulate innovation, experimentation, and collaboration in games. The annual event begins on a Friday afternoon in January and kicks off with video keynotes and advice from leaders in the game development industry. The jam formally begins after an announcement of the year’s theme, kept secret until the last second, and not revealed publicly until 17:00 at our last time zone to start: Hawaii! In 2020, there were 934 sites in 118 countries with over 48,000 jammers who collectively made over 9,600 games! The jam is known for helping foster new friendships, increase confidence and create opportunities within the community. The jam is always an intellectual challenge. People are invited to explore new technology tools, try on new roles in development and test their skills to do something that requires them to design, develop, create, test and make a new game in the time span of 48 hours.
