The Purple Monkey Game Jam is a theme-based, non-competitive game jam spanning a full weekend where game makers can come together to practice their craft and learn from each other. A surprise theme will be announced at the beginning of the event and participants can then find a team or work alone to build a game based on the theme by the end of the weekend.
Breakfast snacks and full lunch will be provided both days. Dinner will be provided on Saturday.
Participants should bring any tools they will need to build a game. Computers, monitors, input devices, etc will not be provided. However, “video games” are not an explicit requirement. Creators are encouraged to experiment with the medium. If you are a non-technical type, you may consider creating a tabletop game or other unique experience to share.
