The TISB Game Jam is one of the first inter-school game development contests that aims to inspire students from Grades 8 to 12 to unleash their creativity in developing a fully-fledged game.
Through this contest, we hope to encourage you to conceptualize, design, and develop complex games of your chosen genre. This contest will be an opportunity for programmers, designers, artists and musicians alike to come together as a team and test their skills against one another, all while developing thoughtful, innovative and challenging games that address our themes.

Our Themes
Healthcare
The healthcare industry is rapidly changing due to technological advances, and games in this area are making more people aware of various healthcare related aspects in our daily lives.
Community
With most innovators focusing on a larger impact, the impact of individuals and communities is often forgotten. How will your game highlight the powerful influence local communities can have?
Transport
Transportation is a part of everyone’s lives, but the transport industry is changing as we know it thanks to the global climate crisis. How can your game highlight or bring about a key change in the industry?
Environment
Climate change is changing the world as we know it, and we will soon be at the center of a climate crisis. Can your game raise awareness on climate change and other environmental crises?
