Volunteer for Global Game Jam Hamar

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ®) is the world's largest game creation event taking place in physical locations across the globe, the weekend 26-28 January 2024. And the biggest jam site in Norway is Hamar. We are in need of 60 volunteers to help make GGJ Hamar run smoothly.

About volunteering

As a volunteer, you get to participate as a jammer for free! You also get an awesome t-shirt, lots of food, and cake! All volunteers get one or two shifts during the jam, and help a bit before and after. There are three volunteers on duty at all time, as volunteers are split into three classes: wizards, hunters and knights. Your volunteer leader will give you more information about how to do your tasks on site. All volunteers shall help organizers if necessary and be available on their phones.

WIZARDS
