I felt like an Olympics themed game jam could be fun, so I had an idea. Google had this fun little doodle up called champion island. It’s a descent web-based game, and it mainly was going around a little island, playing sport minigames, collecting scrolls, and chatting with the locals. (You can find the link to play [here](https://doodles.google/doodle/doodle-champion-island-games-begin/)) Anywho, I was thinking that people could upload minigames to MakeCode during July and August, and then it would all be stitched together in the end to form a huge island where you can play all these different sports themed minigames. It would also be a fun way for everyone to show off their favorite sports! Would need some type of organization though to find out who’s doing what sport and all that. I don’t know anything about making an unofficial game jam and this is probably one of the most random and least thought-out ideas ever, but still… Could be fun! ---

Now this is a great idea! You could also include some fantasy sports as well ---

We could have a “Hall of fame” kind of game which is an island housing every game jam winner to date (or at least a mini game version of them)! ---

The couple of things that we can start with 1.) The island: Where we will put the minigames 2.) Main character: The character the player will be controlling. 3.) Clans: I feel like having you join a clan could be fun. I’m not sure if a multiplayer leaderboard would work, but I at least want you to be able to find your clan’s hideout and help them win. We could even make it countries in honor of the Olympics. 4.) Starting game: We want a game to start with a simple game just to sorta have the feel. Champion island starts with a game of ping pong. I’m not quite sure what the opening game will be and I would love to hear ideas. Any help on these is appreciated! After those are ready, we can start the minigames. ---

Nvm, I might need a week to do some stuff. People are free to use this idea.
