REGENERATE Game Jam is a 48-hours of reimagining farming in games to focus on regenerative and sustainable practices.

Join the jam to explore and learn from a panel of farmers about Traditional and emerging indigenous Māori food production practices, Organic and Regenerative farming, and help expand the variety of games featuring better farms.

Representation matters; we can't imagine what we cannot see! Regenerate Game Jam Matariki is an opportunity to create fun and visible action towards the regeneration of people, place and planet.

Regenerate game jam is an inclusive game jam. We encourage participants of all experience levels and aim to foster a diverse and inclusive safe space for people to create games. Sign up with a team or alone, and let us know if you want us to team you up! Everyone is welcome.

When? The REGENERATE Game Jam will run from 17th -19th June 2022 NZST.

How? The game jam will run on the REGENERATE Game Jam Discord server.

What? Make a game in 48 hours. To qualify, your game should feature organic or regenerative farming practices.
