Do you know how to code, you do graphics, make music, would you be able to come up with your own computer game? Then why wait, get a team together and try to make one in a weekend. The theme to work on will be announced at the beginning!

Bratislava Game Jam is a contest of coders, screenwriters, graphic designers, philosophers and illustrators whose task is to make a video game prototype in one weekend. Individuals and interdisciplinary teams will get a space to test their audacious game design along with their skills. The particular theme to work on will be revealed at the start of the event. It will take place online 10. 11. - 12. 11. 2023.  Our jury will pick the best game at the end of the event.

Bratislava Game Jam 2023 is the eight year of our game jam.
