Hey folks! It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for another **Mini Game Jam**! This month, our theme is going to be **Construction Jam**! We’re looking for games about building things, construction equipment, hard hats… You get the idea! Some examples of good interpretations of this theme are: - A sandbox building game à la [Minecraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft) or [TLOZ: Tears of the Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Tears_of_the_Kingdom) - A city planning/managing game like [SimCity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity), [Cities: Skylines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities:_Skylines), or [Animal Crossing: New Horizons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Crossing:_New_Horizons) - A game that just takes place at an actual construction site like [that one mario game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrecking_Crew_(video_game)) that everyone forgets about As long as you have something that can plausibly be called a construction game then you’re probably good! ## 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 three weeks to enter! The jam will close at **11:59 PM PDT on Thursday, May 29th 2025**. As always, we will be playing all of the games on livestream on the last Friday of the month. Submit your games by posting them in this thread! ---

Alright here are some mini game jam themes for if you ever need one: Wild, dungeon, random, circus, ninja, mystery, party, battle or destruction jam. I would say space jam but there was already a space jam. ---
