Creating a game for a game jam is a challenge in itself. Unlike a project developed without a fixed deadline, participants usually have a limited amount of time to turn an idea into a playable game. In many cases, the jam also sets a theme or specific requirements that influence the concept and direction of the project.
These limitations make game jam games interesting in their own right. Developers have to make decisions quickly, adapt their ideas to the available time and find creative solutions to work within the rules of the event. The result can be very different from a game developed independently over a longer period.

Secret Santa Jam 2025
Secret Santa Jam 2025 was a game jam with a unique premise: instead of following a common theme, each participant was assigned another developer and created a game specifically for them, based on a letter describing their interests and preferences. The jam took place from December 5 to 21, 2025, and resulted in more than 300 games being created. Its personalized approach encouraged developers to come up with ideas tailored to a specific person rather than simply following a predefined theme.
