The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development.

In 2020, a jam site will be set up for the eighth time at the HfG Karlsruhe. Experienced (professional) game designers meet up-and-coming developers: everyone is welcome. About 50 people are invited to join in and become part of the global developer community. Within just 48 hours, new, unique computer games are created on a specific topic. The event welcomes international guests at the HfG Karlsruhe. Participation is free.

The results – playable computer games on a specific topic – are presented the world on Sunday. The presentation shows all the games that were created during the 48-hour jam at the HfG Karlsruhe. Interested guests are welcome to meet the games of the Global Game Jam. The presentation is public for all – and of course free of charge.

The Global Game Jam is a cooperation of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and the ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and other institutions in Karlsruhe.
