We have teamed up with Staffordshire University to bring Stoke ON TREND GamesJam 2021 to your City Centre.
This digital games event, which begins on 29 May, will see hundreds of aspiring programmers – or Jammers - from schools, colleges and universities (did you know that Staffs Uni has the largest games department in the UK by far?!) come together to create Smartphone playable games themed on our wonderful City Centre.
Created by individual Jammers or teams of up to four, the games – all of which are centred around one of eight City Centre key themes – will be available to play via QR codes located at various locations within the City Centre from 19 June until 11 July. Keep those eyes peeled for some ‘surprise’ QR codes too which will unlock freebies and discounts for City Centre businesses!
The Jammer or team who develops the top-rated game at the end of the three weeks will win an amazing, unprecedented prize...
The winners will have the opportunity to work in a studio style environment at the Staffordshire University Games Institute for a six-week period over the summer of 2021. They will have access to the University’s commercial licenses to turn their game into a commercially releasable game.
