The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. It is generally an amazing experience and I have participated in it every year since 2010, however I was looking to participate this year and realized that there is no venue available in Abuja (or Nigeria for that matter)

I went ahead and registered a venue for this year's ggj

You could give a bit more details, some NLers are rather aversive to clicking. Plus, you could have said this earlier, a bit short notice.

@cao what would you like to know, first about the short notice, I apologize, I had posted it earlier in the programming subforum and I just remembered the Gaming subforum.

Second, the game jam is about creating games during a 48hour period (not about playing games), it is also an opportunity to network and meet other developers and creatives.

Attendance is free, there's internet and there will be snacks.

@justbones I'm sure we've some budding developers, programmers, designers etc in the gaming section or they might know folks with said skills. Anywho, better late than never. And thanks for the update.

The game jam is over and was a success, we had a decent turnout, had loads of fun and below is a link to what we made
