never made a game? so what.

you don't need to be an expert. you just need an idea. and if you don't have one yet, that's fine too.

come hang out with other teens who build stuff. learn something new, team up, or make something completely unhinged.

one day. a game you made. a bunch of new people. sounds like a pretty good deal.

okay, how do i get in?

it's easy. just sign up and we'll share the details.

what happens on the day?

schedule dropping soon! we're still sorting out the details. sign up and we'll share the schedule once it's ready!
