In partnership with Microsoft, Playcrafting’s 2020 Global Game Jam was the second largest site in the world, attracting over 750 registrants. Held over the weekend at Microsoft Times Square in NYC, participants formed teams and worked to create a video game based on the theme “Repair,” while various workshops were available to attend. The game jam culminated in a mini-expo, where people were able to play each other’s games and judges determined winners.

I served as the Event Manager, handling all logistics with the venue and sponsors. These responsibilities included floor layout, scheduling, ticketing, and additional accommodations for attendees. I also arranged the workshops throughout the weekend and confirmed all guest judges and prizes.

Notable Participants: Sam Barlow, Narz, Alex Patterson (Beat the Bomb)
