WHAT IS IT?
A GameJam is a meeting between video game creators who come together in small teams and work to develop a complete video game in a very short period of time. From Patient73 we have organized this GameJam with the aim that video game creators develop games for patients with rare diseases.
ISSUE
The theme of the GameJam is "Digital Toys".
This theme includes for example any type of physical toy (dolls, tower of Hanoi, legos, etc.) that do not have any victory/defeat rule but in a virtual format. They must also be games that allow them to be played repeatedly.
STAKE
To enter the contest, you must:
- Register game and team name on itch.io starting February 22. Details about registration will be on the Discord server.
- Have finished the game and be ready to submit it by March 31st.
You can join the jam as one person or as groups. Groups can be groups that already exist or have been formed especially for the jam. You can submit more than one game per person or group, but all must be registered before the registration deadline day indicated above to be part of the competition.

VIDEO GAME EXAMPLE
XYLOPHONE
Musical fun for the little ones:
At Patient73 we work to connect people, especially children, through games. Also, educational games can help you explain diseases or medical procedures to patients and are very helpful. Everyone has the right to access all types of leisure and to have fun without any impediment. That is why we want to offer different types of games, for example commercial or also related to health, which will be available to all members of the platform for free.
