The jam starts on Friday November 6th with a typical 48 hour jam. We'll be gathering in-person at DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond and we'll have channels on this Discord for you to participate remotely as well.

On-site jamming will be available throughout the weekend at DigiPen or you and your team can join the usual Indie Support Group Co-Working meetup at AIE on Saturday if you don't want to make the trip over the East side.

Sunday we will wrap things up at DigiPen with the typical closing ceremonies where we show short videos of everyone's games. For some the journey will end there, but others are welcome to apply to the next phase of GameJamPlus which is incubation.

Select games and teams from around the world will make it to this phase and then have a chance to compete in the regional semifinals in March 2027. The finalists will move on the acceleration phase of the jam and then be eligible for the world finals happening in Brazil in June 2027.
