Global Game Jam is a great opportunity for developers of all experience levels to experiment, build their networks, and make something new. At Global Game Jam, we’ll be providing on-site support at certain locations or through the Unity community.
Connect with some of the best developers in the world
Join the Unity community and create games with developers from around the world.
- Connect with fellow game jammers on the Unity Discord to find collaborators, get feedback on your games, or look for help if you’re feeling stuck.
- Unity team members will be on location at several Global Game Jam sites, including Helsinki, Montreal (hosted in our office!), Memphis, Toronto, Seattle, Austin, Edinburgh, Vancouver, and more.
