X-Border & ANSEL Game Jam 2026 – Hidden Stories: Simple is Beautiful 

Join a beginner-friendly two-day Game Jam at Kokkola Campus. Create a simple game prototype or concept, meet new people, and explore game development through hands-on experimentation.

Expect creativity, collaboration, and perhaps a few cross-border surprises along the way.
