A month-long Halloween game jam hosted by Mytholite and Gamingle.
Make something strange, spooky, unsettling, funny, or downright horrifying.
Meet new collaborators, experiment with an idea, and finish a game before Halloween!
Gamingle is all about meeting new people and making games together, so we strongly
encourage you to find a team for the jam!
Need a programmer? An artist? A composer? A writer? Or simply somebody to throw
increasingly questionable horror ideas at?
Looking for collaborators?
Visit the Gamingle game jam page to meet other developers and put a team together.
Teams are encouraged, but solo developers are absolutely welcome too. There is no
wrong way to take part.
The theme will be revealed when the jam begins.
The theme will be announced on Gamingle once the jam begins.
🎃 Jam begins: October 1st 2026
🕛 Submissions close: October 31st 2026 at 11:59 PM
You are free to interpret the theme as literally, loosely, cleverly, or absurdly as
you like. Surprise us!
Making Your Game
Make your game during the jam window.
Small pre-made tools, frameworks, templates, and code libraries are fine.
Teams and solo developers are welcome.
Teams are encouraged, but they are not required.
Any engine and any platform may be used.
Browser builds are appreciated where possible because they make games easier for
everybody to play.
Your game should respond to the jam theme.
Creative and unusual interpretations are welcome.
Credit your teammates and any third-party assets.
Assets
Your own existing asset packs: ✅ Allowed
Public-domain or appropriately licensed assets: ✅ Allowed,
provided that you follow the licence and include any required credits.
Assets made specifically for the jam: ✅ Absolutely encouraged
AI-generated assets: ⚠️ Not permitted. Let’s celebrate human
creativity for now. AI will get its chance when it takes over the world.
Content and Conduct
Be respectful.
Harassment, hate speech, discriminatory content, and personal attacks are not
welcome.
Horror, dark humour, and mature themes are allowed, but games should use appropriate
content warnings where necessary.
Do not submit content that you do not have permission to use.
Do not submit malicious software, deliberately harmful files, or misleading
downloads.
📦 Submitting Your Game
Upload your game to itch.io.
Return to this page and submit your project to the jam.
Include the line “Made for the Gamingle Jam” somewhere on your
project page.
Clearly credit your teammates, tools, and third-party assets.
Add any relevant controls, installation instructions, and content warnings.
Found your collaborators through Gamingle? Feel free to mention it in your project
description. We’d love to hear how your team came together.
Remember: A small finished game is better than an enormous
unfinished one. Scope carefully, look after your team, and leave enough time to
upload and test your submission.
👻 What Can I Make?
Anything that fits the theme! Your entry could be a traditional horror game, a
spooky comedy, an unsettling narrative experience, a strange arcade game, a haunted
dating simulator, or something nobody has thought of yet.
Experiment. Collaborate. Make something memorable.
