Participants rapidly prototype game designs and hopefully inject new ideas to help grow the game industry. The goal is to come together and make a video game or non-digital game like a board game or card game. “Jam” is a reference to musician jam sessions, not traffic or spreadable fruit. For our Game Jam, we hope participants work within a mix of virtual and non-digital formats.

Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. Some games include sub-plots, other are just puzzle oriented.

Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which a group of people are “locked” in a room with other participants and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. But, I’ve never made a game or puzzle before!.More details will be added to this page and sent from our Twitter feed ( as they become available. This is a judged game jam – winning participants will be selected and will receive a trip to Comic-Con 2016 (tickets, flights, and hotel included). Our Theme for the Jam will be to create an escape room based around a moment in a upcoming film. Teams will be formed by the end of the first day of the jam, but participants are allowed to pre-form teams before the Jam itself. In this 48-hour design challenge, participant teams will work to create puzzles and games to be played within a pop-up escape room. The MIT Game Lab, in affiliation with Red Bull, is holding our first ever Escape Room Game Jam!
