Nordic Game Jam is a game festival: two days of talks and an unforgettable jam weekend with 500 other game developers from all over the world. Join us in Copenhagen!

“Nordic Game Jam is the best large scale game jam I’ve ever attended.”

 – Petri Purho, Kloonigames

“Nordic Game Jam is of course special because of the high profile international talks, but mostly because you meet so many new people. You can learn from everyone and at the same time teach and help others.”

 – Anders Østergård, Game Swing

“Nordic Game Jam is one of the best places to go for a jam in the world! In the beautiful city of Copenhagen, hundreds of super talented game developers from all around the world gather to create a bunch of games in two days, meet each other, learn from each other and have fun!”

 – Sos Sosowski, McPixel

“Attending Nordic Game Jam 2018 was one of the absolute highlights of my year – from the amazing people I met to the exciting talks I heard to the electric atmosphere of the jam itself! I highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a great jamming experience in 2019 & I hope to be back!“

 – Charlene Putney, Larian Studios
