We're excited to kick off the June Solstice Game Jam, running from June 3 through June 21 and ending right on the solstice itself!
Whether you're in the northern hemisphere marking the longest day of the year or in the southern hemisphere observing the shortest, the solstice is a global moment of transition. June is also a profound month for identity, history and community in the U.S. and across the world.
We are celebrating authenticity and LGBTQIA+ history with Pride month, which also happens to be the birth month of Alan Turing – the famous computer scientist behind the “Turing Test” for artificial intelligence who was persecuted for being gay. June also marks Juneteenth, a day to celebrate an important milestone towards the freedom and liberation of Black Americans. It’s a time dedicated to reflection, honoring resilience, and amplifying Black joy.
But June isn't only about deep history! This month brings the electric teamwork and high stakes of the World Cup, bringing the entire planet together in the spirit of play. And if sports aren't your thing, June also serves up delightfully specific celebrations like International Sushi Day and National Flip-Flop Day.
Whether you want to build something deeply meaningful or delightfully goofy, this jam is your canvas. We’ve got some great prizes for five lucky winners.
