A massive thank you to our incredible sponsors and partners for making Global Game Jam Vancouver 2026 possible. This event wouldn't be half as special without your support of our game devs community! #GGJVancouver2026 #GlobalGameJam2026

[BUS Game Devs @busgamedevs]

We are so impressed with the progress made in just a few hours! But today... it's time for the real magic to happen.

Day 2 is officially underway! The venue is open, the coffee is ready, and we have a full day of jamming ahead of us. Let's get those prototypes running! 🔥

[BUS Game Devs @busgamedevs]

What a start! Day 1 at #GGJVancouver2026 was a blast of creativity!! The energy in the room was so focused yesterday. From the moment the theme was revealed, we saw notebooks filling up, teams bonding over dinner from the food trucks, and the first lines of code being written.

- Other Lots: While there are parkades to the east, we can't guarantee they are public on the weekend. Sticking to the underground is your safest and closest bet! 🅿️

If you have any trouble accessing the parking, please contact John, and he’ll get you sorted!
