The NYU Game Center’s 2022 Global Game Jam site welcomed 60+ jammers from all over the country who made 16 games! Our Global Game Jam site took place on Discord and Zoom for a second year in a row, and jammers spent a cold January weekend bringing tons of energy to our digital site. Every year jammers impress us with what they are able to accomplish in just 48 hours, and this year was no exception!
We’d like to congratulate our site’s 2022 award winners:
