Hamar Global GameJam 2026
We are Seeking Volunteers!
What is GameJam?
On 30. Jan - 1 Feb. 2026 we'll gathered again for the biggest game making event in the world. During one weekend, over 200 game developers, game students and game/tech enthusiasts joined to create great game ideas. Over the event we brainstormed and pitched ideas, divided into teams, and created as many games as possible within 48 hours.
Everyone is welcome, we need all kinds of skills - from programmers to game designers, artists and musicians. People with no previous experience are also encouraged to join us, share their perspective and learn more about game development.
