I just started writing games in my free time but haven't really done anything with them and don't know what to do.

I recently got into writing lore about made up games as well as characters and what not. I enjoy doing it but I don't know how to get my ideas out there. I am not sure if game jam is the right place to be but if anyone could help me it would be appreciated.

SEN Halloween 72H Jam (Oct 29–Nov 1) — 72 hours, a secret gameplay challenge, no rankings

Hey everyone!

We're organizing our second game development event, and this time we're trying something shorter: 72 hours to create a small, finished game.

🎃 SEN Halloween 72H Jam — October 29 to November 1, 2026.

The idea is simple. Instead of starting another project that never gets finished, choose something small enough to actually complete in three days.

Here's how it works:

  • Halloween is the main theme.
  • At the start, everyone will discover the same secret gameplay condition.
  • Any genre, engine, or art style is welcome.
  • You can join alone and find teammates, or bring your own team.
  • No judges, rankings, winners, or prizes.
  • Web builds are preferred, but standalone games are accepted.
  • Participation is completely free.

After the jam, Kate_Melanick will play the submitted games on a dedicated Twitch stream and share her reactions.

We're running the event through Studio Experience Network (SEN), where participants can form teams, work together, and submit their finished games.

Start: October 29, 19:00 Warsaw

Deadline: November 1, 19:00 Warsaw

We're especially interested in seeing how differently people interpret the same secret condition.

If you've been wanting to make a small Halloween game, you're very welcome to join.

And if you have any questions about how the jam works, I'll be happy to answer them here!
