Registration for Global Game Jam 2026 is open!
Students, faculty, and members of the community, join University of Baltimore and uBalt at the Universities at Shady Grove to create games. All jammers are welcome regardless of level of experience.
The event runs Monday January 26, 2026 to Sunday, February 1, 2025
Global Game Jam will be hybrid with online and in-person events at the Universities at Shady Grove campus.
There will be an in-person opening event with an industry speaker and pizza as well as an in-person closing event with judging and prizes. The campus will be open 24 hours on the weekend for the traditional GGJ experience.
If you can't make the whole event, you are welcome to join us for the various events featuring special speakers and the closing events on Sunday where you'll get a chance to play the games and watch the contest!
