The Global Game Jam returns to Leeuwarden in 2026! 48 hours where creativity gets turned into innovative and exciting new experiences.
From artists to musicians, and designers to programmers, everyone is welcome! Global Game Jam is about experimentation and innovation. You don’t need to be a professional. Quite the contrary: Some of the best indie-games have been created by the smallest and newest teams!
The game jam starts on January 30th Sunday at 17:00, and ends on February 1st. Unable to attend the full jam? You are still welcome to playtest all the games made during the jam on February 1st at 12:30.
The jam site location is inside the old Cambuur football stadium: Netwerkcentrum Leeuwarden “De Klomp” (Cambuurplein 44, 8921 RG Leeuwarden).
The fee for joining us on site is €20,-
For an additional price of €30,- dinner will be provided on Friday and Saturday.
