About this event series
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.

Prereqs & Preparation
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.
