When does the jam run and what is the deadline?
The jam runs from 7 August 2026 to 21 August 2026 and takes place entirely online. The submission deadline is 21 August 2026, and registration stays open until that same cut-off.
Who is eligible to participate?
The jam is open to all, with no geographic restrictions, so participants from India and anywhere else in the world can enter. It is aimed at web developers, game designers and hobbyists, and beginners are specifically welcome.
Do I need previous game development experience?
No. The jam is beginner-friendly by design and does not require any prior game development experience or specific skills — it is as much for first-timers as for people who have shipped games before.
Can I enter as part of a team?
Yes. Teams of any size are allowed, and you can equally choose to work on your own. There is no stated cap on how many people can be on a team.
What kind of project do I have to build?
You need to design and develop a playable browser game using web technologies during the jam period. The finished entry must be a game that runs in a browser.
How are the entries judged?
Submissions are judged on creativity, gameplay and technical execution. The exact judging criteria are not detailed in the published information, though jams of this type generally evaluate how fun, innovative and polished the final game is.
Is there an entry fee?
No. Registration is free, and there is no charge to take part or to submit an entry.
Does the jam take equity or a stake in my game?
No. This is a competition with a cash prize rather than an investment or funding round, so there is no equity or ownership stake in your game involved in entering.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or an MSME registration to take part?
No such requirement is mentioned. The jam is open to individuals and does not list any company registration, DPIIT recognition or MSME registration as a condition of entry.
How do I apply?
You register through the jam's Devpost page at https://btt-web-game-jam.devpost.com/. Everything from registration to submission happens through that page, since the jam is run completely online.
