10 years and over 1000 participants! Ready to make your first game? Our mentors and workshops are waiting for you!!

Hundreds of people have made their very first game at GAMERella, the world’s longest running inclusive game jam. NOW IT IS YOUR TIME! Join in-person or online to this year’s GAMERella! As always, GAMERella invites women (cis/trans), trans men, non-binary/genderqueer folks, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and any others who feel they haven’t had a chance to make a game, to join GAMERella in a weekend of fun game-making November 23-24, 2024.

GAMERella 2023 is supported by EA Motive Studio, Autodesk, Clever Endeavour, Behaviour Interactive, and LUMOplay.

Our partners include Weird Ghosts, Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology, and our host: D3 Innovation Hub.

Special thanks for the years of support: Technoculture, Art and Games Research Lab.

This year’s theme is HEARTH! Curl up around the cosy fireplace, find a place to call home, craft amongst the fires of a forge, be warmed away from the cold world outside, or perhaps take a moment to reflect – some respite from the humdrum of life. Wherever this theme takes you, let it centre on the power of the hearth.
