Join the 2015 Global Game Jam at UMBC, 23-25 January

For the seventh year in a row, UMBC is the Baltimore-area host site for the Global Game Jam (GGJ).

In a game jam, people come together to make a video game — a hackathon for game development. Participants join small teams at the jam, and over a few days create new, unique and creative video games based on the jam’s theme and rules.

The GGJ is the world’s largest game jam event and takes place over 48 hours at 100s of physical locations worldwide. The 2015 GGJ will start at 5pm on Friday, January 23 and end at 5pm Sunday, January 25.
