Game Jam Nights of Code

Welcome to the Team1 Kenya Avalanche Game Jam — a 12-hour overnight builder experience designed for developers, game designers, artists, storytellers, creatives, and ambitious builders ready to prototype the next generation of gaming experiences on Avalanche.

This is not just a meetup. This is not just a workshop. This is a live overnight shipping session built for teams who are ready to build games, prototype fast, collaborate deeply, experiment boldly and ship immersive experiences.

As part of the official road to the Team1 Kenya Mini Hack 2026, this Game Jam focuses on helping builders explore how gaming, gamification, AI, and on-chain systems are shaping the future of consumer technology.

Throughout the night participants will form ideas into playable experiences, prototype game mechanics, experiment with on-chain integrations, build gamified systems, and collaborate with other creatives and developers across the ecosystem.

Whether you’re a Unity or Unreal developer, frontend engineer, AI builder, game designer, 3D artist, storyteller, or simply curious about gaming on Avalanche, this experience is designed to help you learn, collaborate, and ship alongside other ambitious builders.

Expect: Coffee & snacks, game-building challenges, hands-on mentorship, late-night prototyping sessions, gamified builder experiences and ecosystem opportunities.
