Global Game Jam 2026

Welcome to Global Game Jam Edmonton 2026 – Presented by Edmonton Unlimited! We’re excited to see you all and make some excellent games with you!

Please follow along with the discord as we will be posting important information there leading up to and particularly throughout the jam.

While we know some sites are starting this jam earlier, we would like to encourage our jammers to not look up the theme for the jam until it has been revealed during opening presentations at 5pm MST on January 26th.

More information will be available closer to GGJ!
