Can you create a game out of anything ?

In order to select your theme, go to https://www.wikihow.com/Special:Randomizer. That's it. You have a theme. Congrats.

If you think you will never be able to create a game with this, then don't worry. That's the point. You now have 72 hours to make a terrible game out of this terrible idea before posting it to itch.io and letting the world rate your creation ! The games will be rated during a period of two days according to their gameplay, overall feel and adherence to their theme. Don't forget to put a link to the article you got in your submission page.

You can work alone or with a team and you can use pre made or downloaded assets (as long as you have the right to use them and credit the creators accordingly).

You have nothing to win (except maybe the pride and joy of creating a game in three days) but you have nothing to lose either so don't be shy and go make a game, you didn't have anything better to do today anyway.

This jam is an interesting way to see what unexpected games come out of the most zany themes you can get (and you can get some pretty zany themes from WikiHow, see past jams) under a short period of time. A challenging theme can force you to think of original ideas for your game to work well and to see what you can create with harsh constraints, so even if the article seems completely unusable as a theme, try to run with it and see what kind of strange abomination you end up with after a very tiring day !
