On the 3rd - 5th of February 2023 we'll gather again for the biggest game-making event in the world. During one weekend, over 200 game developers, game students, and game/tech enthusiasts will gather and go together to create great game ideas. During the event, we will brainstorm and pitch ideas, divide into teams, and create as many games as possible within 48 hours.

Everyone is welcome, we need all kinds of skills - from programmers to game designers, artists, and musicians. People with no previous experience are also encouraged to join us, share their perspective and learn more about game development. We'll provide a place to sleep, food to eat - just bring your own computer!
