• Fourth Stage - The Big Final

  This is where the finalists and organizers all meet in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to define and celebrate the big Game Jam Plus winners. This stage will provide special moments of networking, experience exchange and, of course, lots of games!

  Note: all expenses are the responsibility of the participants. Check with your local organizer if there is any sort of support.

  When: June 30th, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Besides joining this amazing global competition and compete for all the prizes, you:

• Help to reinforce and strengthen the game development industry in Brazil and in the world;
• Win 50% access at our VIP workshops from the Second Stage;
• Get a official certificate for 60 hours (First Stage) and 120 hours (by Fourth Stage);
• Join our global community of developers and entrepreneurs, creating opportunities of professional growth through network, feedbacks on projects and special jobs opportunities in the international market.

The strength of our movement comes from the power of collaboration (there are over 1000 volunteers around the world). We could expect the government or a private company to finance all the flying tickets and hosting expenses to the Big Final, but we believe that the individual citizen is the final transformation agent where they live. Therefore, we believe that participants that can financially* afford the tickets can actually strengthen our cause.

We always like to reiterate that 100% of the ticket incomes are reverted to helping finalists to travel and attend the finals.

*We are not trying to exclude anyone. If the ticket price is out of your reach, try to talk with your local organizer and check if you can join for free.
