[Announcement] July 2023 Game Jam!

Hey folks!

We here at the MakeCode Team are excited to announce that the next official MakeCode Arcade Game Jam will take place this July! That’s right, this will be a full-fledged non-mini game jam where you’ll have an entire month to work on your game. At the end of July, our elite team of game judges will play all of the games and select winners from the entrants.

We’ll be announcing the theme for this jam on July 3rd along with the full rules and entry details, so stay tuned!

Start Date: July 3rd, 2023
