JamIsland is a GameJam embedded in Schmiede 2026. 

Lasting for roughly 48 hours, the goal of JamIsland is to provide a playground for afficionados and enthusiasts alike to experiment and try new things revolving around games and interactive media. With 'learning by doing' being the core motivation for GameJams, the fun part is that they always result in finished games by the end of it! 

Get a specific topic, storm your brain for ideas and jump right into creative development, no further limitations involved!
Timetable: On Wednesday, 23rd of September the topic will  be chosen democratically, followed by team finding as well as workshops on how to create games and ideas for games.

The production phase comes to an end on Friday, 25th of September with a short exhibition of all created games.

Participation in the GameJam is only possible on location in Hallein, Austria, during the duration of the event.
