ALL GAMERS AND CREATIVE MINDS ASSEMBLE!
From the 6th until the 10th of January Games for Health organizes a special GameJam. This week you will create games that will help scientists to find a vaccine against lymphoma. They need your supertalent to get the best ideas on the table. We all know one superhero can only do so much. However, superheroes can achieve more when their powers collide. It will be a week full of impact. Filled with positive energy, fun and a career / network boost.
Is that all? Definitely not. To help you get through this week they bring you:
Superhero colleagues
Creative masterminds who support you and your team
The best massages in the world
Super healthy boosts throughout the day
Food. All day. Dinner included
A special beer tasting event
Lovely dog Bear for playful interventions, cuddles and comfort
Tissues to dry your tears in case of frustrations or panic attacks
Last but not least: post-its.
What are you waiting for? Sign up at www.unmask.nl
What to expect during this week:
Monday the 6th of January starts with a registration at 9:30. Followed by an UNMASK kick-off Jamming at 10:00 AM. One of the super scientists will present the lymphoma research and explains why it is so important to find this vaccine against lymphoma. The first day ends with presenting paper-prototypes while enjoying drinks and food.
Every other day of the week starts around 9:00 o’clock.
The special week ends on Friday, where all groups present the outcomes to the whole world. This special moment is a great cause for celebration. That is why professionals from different fields are invited to join in learning more about the prototypes built during the week.

Innovation – Experimentation – Collaboration
The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.
The structure of a jam is usually that everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced. All sites worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed by Sunday afternoon. In January 2019, we had 860 locations in 113 countries create 9,010 games in one weekend! GGJ 2020 is 31 January – 2 February at a location near you… if not you can make one of your own.
For worldwide announcements, news and other information you can visit the official website.
Do you want to show off your game? Then join the Dutch Game Garden Network Lunch! Here you can showcase your game to fellow developers, get some feedback, and of course eat a delicious sandwich or two.
