The Global Game Jam is a creative event where you team up with other people to make a playable game in 48 hours. Usually at the end of January each year, jammers will be making games in more than 295 sites in 60 countries!

The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity. 

In 2026 the dates for the Malta Global Game Jam are 30 January to 1 February 2026. We recommend you take Monday, 2 February off! Registrations are open and you can register here!
