Unity Game Jam Club: Build a 2D Game to a Theme

A weekly club for ages 12 to 17 who know Unity basics. Members take part in friendly game jams: a theme is announced and everyone builds a small 2D game around it over three weeks.

Class Experience

Week one is ideas and a playable prototype. Week two adds the core mechanic and art. Week three is polish and play-testing each other's games. The teacher gives short lessons on whatever most members need and helps individually with bugs.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 55 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

  • Jam 1: Theme and Prototype – Brainstorm and build a rough version.

  • Jam 1: Mechanic and Art – Make the core loop fun.

  • Jam 1: Polish and Play-Test – Finish and play each other's games.

  • Jam 2: Theme and Prototype – New theme, new idea.

  • Jam 2: Mechanic and Art – Build it out.

  • Jam 2: Polish and Showcase – Present and reflect.

Parents Often Ask

No prizes and no rankings. The aim is to finish and learn.

One to two hours a week is typical during a jam.

Usually solo, with an option to pair up.

Yes. The club meets every week with no last class, and each session stands on its own.

Up to 8, so everyone gets a turn to share their work.
