Welcome to Utah Indie Game Jam 2026! Come with your team and make a game in 48 hours, meet people, and learn new stuff. Our twelfth annual game jam will be held on October 16-18 th at 7pm. This year we are also holding the jam in conjunction with Game Jam+ this year. Game Jam+ is similar to the Global Games Jam, but it's a competition in four different phases. Stay tuned for more details on that. If you want to join the GameJam+ side of this, you can do that here. https://herohub.gamejamplus.com/ Our kickoff meeting will be held online. We will start the opening ceremonies at 7pm on our Discord in the Assembly Hall channel. In that meeting we'll discuss the rules and announce the theme. The judging and presentations will be done online on Discord also. If you're not already part of the UtahGameDev Discord, you can sign up for it on this page https://discord.gg/WSQ5nJ3gvH This is a competitive game jam, but a spirit of community and sportsmanship is encouraged. This is a chance to make what you want and to polish your skills and take them to the next level. Feel free to invite your friends to make a team or go solo if you want! What's a game jam?
