The Toronto Independent Game Jam (TOJam) is a FREE, annual, open-to-the-public event where the craziest game makers in the world gather for a 3 day game making binge. Webster, Kupferman, Creighton, and Woo explain things best.

"TOJam: Haters Gonna Eight" will be held May 3-5 at George Brown College. Registrations should go live April 15th, and we'll announce everything loudly (twitter, e-mail).

TOJam attracts a mix of hobbyists, students, and professionals. For some, it's an opportunity to try new ideas, for others it's a chance to focus. For everyone, it's a grand old time.

After the event, we showcase all the games at the public TOJam Arcade.

We're looking for coders, artists, musicians, designers - anyone that has game making ability. You can attend solo, or with a team. If you're an artist or musician without a team, consider attending as a floater. Can't make games? Problem solved.


TOJam IS NOT a competition, conference, or learning opportunity.
The crazy deadline is all the competition you need.

TOJam IS all about harnessing your existing knowledge to produce the best game possible. The deadline, combined with the talents of everyone attending, produces results. We consider the jam a kick-start, and want everyone to continue polishing their diamonds in the rough.
