What do you do with the games?

Games created for Cause Jam get bundled and sold as part of “Jam Packs” to raise money for children in hospitals. Every game created for the cause gets publicity as a part of our bundles, get placed in the hands of industry veterans for judging and feedback, and could even win awards and be brought to industry conferences for further recognition. Every bundle sold helps kids. Every game added improves the bundle. Every Cause Jammer makes a difference.  

What if I’m new to game development?

While you help kids in hospitals, let us support you in your game development journey. Cause Jam participants receive coaching from game industry professionals, direct feedback from industry veterans, and access to resources whenever possible… learning is part of the fun!  

Missed the kickoff?

Don’t worry! Cause Jam is a monthly event. Sign up here, and we’ll remind you to join next month.
