🎮 Broken Console: The Game Jam
A 26-Hour Marathon of Innovation, Imagination, and Immersive Game Creation
Step into the world where code meets creativity and passion turns into playable reality. Broken Console: The Game Jam is not just an event — it's a celebration of imagination, problem-solving, and collaborative spirit, all wrapped up in a high-intensity, 26-hour game development sprint.
Organized at the college level, this game jam brings together students from diverse disciplines — programmers, designers, artists, storytellers, and visionaries — to form dynamic teams that ideate, develop, and deliver fully playable games from scratch. Whether it's a platformer, puzzle game, horror survival, or something completely out of the box, the only limit is how far your imagination can stretch.
What sets Broken Console apart?
This year, we're proudly collaborating with IGDC — the India Game Developer Conference, the nation’s biggest and most influential gathering of game creators, studios, and industry experts. This partnership opens the door for participants to align with national industry standards, get recognized by top professionals, and even explore opportunities beyond the campus.
Over the course of 26 hours, participants will experience:
🔧 Intense real-time collaboration
💡 Rapid brainstorming and design sprints
🕹️ Game creation using industry-standard tools
🤝 Mentorship and support from experts
🌐 A platform to showcase innovation in front of peers and academic leaders
More than a competition, Broken Console is a movement — one that fosters a spirit of learning by doing, risk-taking, and bringing creative visions to life through interactive storytelling and engaging gameplay mechanics.
Whether you're there to build, support, observe, or celebrate — this is your chance to witness the next generation of game developers in action.
