What Is This Quest?
A game jam is simple: you get a theme, a deadline, and caffeine. We're adding a fourth ingredient — Qwen AI as your creative co-dev.
7 Days, Total Freedom
Aug 25–31. Any genre, any engine, any scope. Web games welcome and loved. Solo or duo — ship something you're proud of.
Ship It, Get Judged
Submit on itch.io. The judges (and the community) play everything. Best vibes, best craft, best AI-fu take the podium.

Player FAQ
Who can join?
Anyone, anywhere, any skill level. The jam is 100% online and free. There are only 50 slots though — first come, first served.
What should I build?
A "vibe-coded game" — anything playable where Qwen AI helped you create it. Genre, engine and scope are your call. Web-based games make judging easier (and faster love).
Is it really free?
Free to enter — and better: every registered jammer gets $20 in credits to use Qwen on Qwen Cloud for the duration of the event. Your AI co-dev costs you $0.
Solo or team?
Both! Fly solo or squad up (max 3 per team recommended). Prizes are awarded per game entry.
How does judging work?
Judges play every entry on itch.io and score vibe, creativity, AI usage, fun and polish. Cash prizes only unlock if the quality bar is met — otherwise winners receive token drops.
I'm new to game dev. Should I join?
YES — this jam was made for you. Qwen AI helps you code, ambassadors help you ship, and the community has your back. Week one of your dev journey starts here.
