WHO can Jam?
YOU! Every year hundreds of people take part in Kiwijam. Entry is open to anyone from first-timers to professional game developers. You can either enter with a team or without. You'll be placed with a team if you like, or you can go it alone. Kiwijam 2023 is strictly 18+.

Why Jam?
Make a game in 48-ish hours! Game jams are awesome for fostering friendships, increasing confidence and creating opportunities within the game development community. You get to challenge yourself and your creativity while you explore new roles, develop and refine your skills. And you'll end up with a cool piece for your portfolio, or just a game to play with your friends.

Where do we Jam?

Kiwijam is happening between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd July at Petridish shared offices in Dunedin, 8 Stafford Street. Kiwijam also takes place simultaneously all around the country. Registration is FREE, but you must register and complete this form before you can jam with us. Please make sure you've read the small print and the Kiwijam Code of Conduct before signing up.

How to Jam?
1. Sign Up.
2. Turn Up.
3. Play Up....

All development on the game must be done within the 48-ish hour window. But you can bring pre-existing resources with you, such as engines, code, art, sounds etc. just don’t come with a game already made. In the spirit of the jam, it's about what you create with your team using the Kiwijam 2023 theme (announced on the Friday night).

If you have any questions before or during the jam, feel free to email the Dunedin team at: lauren@codedunedin.nz and we'll help you as best we can.

Can't wait to see you!
