Apocalypse Jam is meant to be a fun and cathartic break from worrying about the world’s problems. The vibe is “c’est la vie”, an end of the world party. This year’s jam runs October 21-31.

Entries can be about the collapse of modern society and nature, sudden disasters, or post-cataclysmic survival scenarios. Your apocalypse can be literal or figurative, a historical doomsday, a pessimistic future, or something completely off-the-wall.

A game jam is a creative challenge where people make games in a limited time frame with specific constraints. Never made a game before? Join up and find a team you can chip in on.
