How a GenJam works

Show up. Team up. Get the brief. Make it.

No prep, no pre-made entries. Everyone gets the same brief and the same clock.

1
Show up
RSVP on Luma and join live, online or in the room when a city hosts. Bring whatever tools you use.
2
Team up
Teams form on the spot. Going solo is fine too.
3
Get the brief
A theme, a prompt, sometimes a few ingredients you have to use. Then the clock starts, usually a few hours.
4
Screen it
When time's up you submit and everyone watches together. The room votes. Competitions add a judging panel and prizes.
