Crazy Game Jam

Launched in 2026, the Crazy Game Jam is an online game jam organised by Yggame with Antoine Chollet, creator of the Code Game Jam. For 48 hours, teams of students, professionals and teachers create a video game from scratch around a theme revealed at the opening. For the first edition, from 3 to 5 July 2026, the theme was “Forêt” (Forest).

100% online

Everything happens online: the opening and closing ceremonies are streamed live on Twitch, teams form and talk on Discord, and the games are published on itch.io. Before time runs out, each team submits a build of its game and a presentation video, which a jury then assesses.

Open, mixed teams

There is no size limit, but there is one rule: at least two students, a majority of students and no more than one professional (two from five students upwards). All languages and all engines are allowed, and only assets the team holds the rights to may be used. Code, art, sound, game design: profiles mix.

Yggame's role

Yggame designed and organised the event with Antoine Chollet, developed the cgj.yggame.fr platform (registrations, team management, game submission) and produced the live streams of the ceremonies.
