Saudi Games Initiative opens registration for Ramadan Jam 2026
Designed to help creators turn ideas into playable projects during the holy month.
Saudi Games Initiative has opened registration for Ramadan Jam 2026, a bootcamp-style game development programme designed to help creators turn ideas into playable projects during the holy month.
Running from February 27th to March 18th 2026, the initiative blends structured workshops, mentoring and a focused development sprint.
Positioned as more than a traditional game jam, registration is open from February 27th to March 3rd, with final results set to be announced on March 19th 2026. Interested developers can sign up here.
Open to all
Ramadan Jam is framed as a guided journey that begins with training and concludes with a testable prototype built in the spirit and values of Ramadan.
Participants will take part in workshops and mentorship sessions before moving into an intensive sprint phase aimed at delivering a playable version of their concept.
The programme is open to beginners seeking their first development experience as well as more experienced developers and artists looking to challenge themselves during Ramadan.
