Is AI allowed in GAMERella Game Jam 2026?

Unclear. The rules don't say clearly. Ask the hosts before you build.

“Over the last couple of years, jammers have asked if they can use ChatGPT/Claude or other GenAI products to make their games. We do not encourage this.”

GAMERella Game Jam is the world’s longest running annual game jam and workshop series focusing on supporting equity-deserving game creators and aspiring game makers. Our next edition is planned for November 14-15, 2026. Hundreds of people have made their very first game at GAMERella with the support of our amazing industry mentors, live and video workshops, and low-stress environment. NOW IT IS YOUR TIME! For news and updates, follow us on Instagram ! As always, GAMERella invites women (cis/trans), trans men, non-binary/genderqueer and 2-spirited folks, LGBTQIA+, 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 on November 14-15, 2026. WHERE IS THE JAM? In-person location: District 3 Innovation Centre: Concordia University - FB building, 6th floor (1250 Rue Guy, Montréal, QC H3H 2T4) Jam from home: You can also jam from anywhere! Claim an online ticket and you will be invited to our Discord, where you and your team will be able to watch our keynote, access our mentors, find other teammates, and interact with the community. Our online support package is available HERE . WHEN IS THE JAM? November 14-15, 2026 The jam will start Saturday at 10am and wrap up at Sunday 8pm. However, we think sleeping is more important than making games, so we will all be sending you home on Saturday night to have a good night’s sleep!
