The Global Game Jam returns to the Northshore!
In the bitter winter of Massachusetts’s Northshore, hardy jammers heed the call of the Global Game Jam to gather ’round the fires of Beverly. Here, they put their skills to the test and forge games in a mere 3 days.
The North Shore Game Jam is hosted by Montserrat College of Art. This year will be fully virtual!

What is Global Game Jam?

The GGJ brings together thousands of game development enthusiasts participating in hundreds of local jams around the world in a single weekend. The GGJ has proven itself to be an incubator for creative experiments and a generator of new collaborations often resulting in successful published games.
