Welcome to Indie City Jams!

Indie City Jams is a series of (usually) monthly game jams, hosted in-person in Chicago by Indie City Games! Participants are invited to join us in person for a day of jamming and collaboration over the course of a seven-hour jam.

Video game and tabletop entries alike are welcome!

For this jam, participants will grab their own personalized prompt from Orteil's Video Game Generator.

Venue

This month's jam will be generously sponsored by and held at Prism Games in Avondale! The jam will run from 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM CST, along with an additional hour for trying each other's projects after! Participants are allowed to bring or order food to the venue.

 We ask that you respect Prism Games' Code of Conduct while participating.

If participating in person, please be sure to bring any equipment you'll require to participate effectively- laptop and and any peripherals if making a video game, or any physical supplies you might need for a tabletop game. 

We'll also be supplying various supplies for paper prototyping and those designing tabletop games, so feel free to hop in even if all you can bring is yourself!

Can't make it in person or just not in Chicago? Feel free to participate online! 

Theme

Participants will generate their own theme at the jam start using Orteil's Video Game Generator. Participants may reroll their prompt up to two times.
