Hey folks!

It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for a new mini game jam! Starting this month we’re going to be occasionally asking forum members to come up with themes for the mini game jam. This was inspired by @danger_kitty’s excellent [hacking mini game jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-13-hacking-jam/22328) a few months back. With that out of the way, let’s get to the theme for November!

## The November theme is “Food Jam” by @Kiwiphoenix364!

That’s right! We’re looking for **food** related games. As always, you can interpret this however you want as long as it’s clear to the player how it relates to the theme. In other words, a game where you cook or play as food is totally on theme but a game that has a hamburger in the corner of the screen for three seconds in one cutscene and no other food is probably not.

## Rules

1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade
2. Games should clearly adhere to the theme without the need for any extra explanation
3. Keep the games PG: no NSFW, offensive, or excessively violent content.
4. You must be at least 9 years old to participate.
5. All games must be submitted by someone who is at least 13 years old. Younger students are welcome to participate, but it must be in partnership with an adult and with parent permission.

You have two weeks to enter! The jam will close at **11:59 PM PDT on Monday, November 20th 2023**

As always, all of the submitted games will be played on [our Twitch channel](https://www.twitch.tv/msmakecode) live stream after the game jam ends. Because the ending week is Thanksgiving here in the US, we’ll be playing the games the Friday the week after the jam ends.

Submit your games by posting them in this thread!

Yep. I feel your pain… when I first came here, I was SO ready for any challenge that came my way. I was so excited when I saw the mini game jam. Then I realised it wasn’t a competition…

This is a MINI game jam. Where we just make games for fun. Everybody wins in these!

A REGULAR game jam is a REAL competition. Where only 3 people (not including honorable mentions) Win

A _mini_ game jam is for the community to come together and show their creations. A normal game jam is an actual competition, with winners, honorable mentions, etc.
