Dojo Game Jams

The Dojo Game Jam is back! This 72-hour weekend will bring together the Dojo ecosystem to build games on the open-source, provable Dojo Engine.

Prizes will be awarded to winning teams, but the goal of this game jam is to combine the efforts of those who share the vision of fully onchain games and to identify teams who are ready to build and ship!

If you’re ready to get involved and find a team, introduce yourself in the Dojo Discord - new contributors are always welcome. From there, the Dojo Book is a great place to start your journey.

Prizes

Up to $20k in prizes for winning teams! We'll announce more specifics shortly!

Please note: there will be no airdrops for participation in the Game Jam. Prizes will only be awarded to teams that build excellent projects that demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Dojo engine.
