This jam is now over. It ran from 2026-09-11 17:00:00 to 2026-09-14 17:00:00. View results

Great games come from vision and iteration, not from who hand-typed every line or hand-drew every pixel. Build an immersive world with whatever gets you there: AI art, AI audio, coding agents, asset packs, your own hands, or all of it at once. Bring the experience. We judge that, not your process.

✦  The Theme

HOME

A place, a feeling, a memory—or something else entirely.

Build it. Find it. Leave it. Return to it. Protect it. Carry it with you. Make a home among the stars. Welcome someone in. Turn a stranger into family. Discover what makes a place your own.

These are only examples—not a checklist. Surprise us with your interpretation.


✦  The Deal

  • 72 hours. The theme is live: HOME. Build, ship, done.
  • Any tool, no apologies. Generative AI, coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), asset packs, any engine.
  • Solo or team, any size. A browser build is encouraged, so more people can play and rate you.

✦  How Entries Are Judged

Voting is by participants and invited judges, never the public. Four things, each rated 1 to 5:

  1. Immersion. Did it pull you into its world and hold you there?
  2. Player Experience. Was it fun and satisfying to play, moment to moment?
  3. Cohesion & Craft. Does it hold together as one finished, consistent piece?
  4. Theme. How well does it use the theme revealed at kickoff?

✦  Schedule

  • Fri Sep 11, 6PM · Submissions open and theme reveal
  • Mon Sep 14, 6PM · Submissions close, uploads lock
  • Sep 14 to 21 · Community and judge rating
  • Wed Sep 23 · Winners announced

6PM BST is 17:00 UTC.


✦  The Rules

Disclose your tools

List what you used on your submission page (for example Claude Code, Midjourney, Suno). If you used no AI tools, say so. It is a badge of honor here, not a confession. No disclosure means no entry.

Use assets you are allowed to use

You are responsible for your tools' terms and any third-party claims on what you generate. No trademarked or infringing content.

You keep 100% of your work

We will not train any model on your submission. We may feature entries to promote the jam.

Show craft

Obvious zero-effort, single-prompt dumps may be removed. The bar is a real experience, made well.

Be decent

This is a build-cool-stuff space. Tool-shaming and flame wars get moderated.


The theme is HOME. Hit Join jam at the top of this page and start building.
