A theme and a creative constraint to get your jam going.
Start with a genre, setting, and gameplay constraint. The game idea generator is useful when you need a concept to sketch before deciding on mechanics or art.
Use the game idea generatorChoose a theme-first prompt for a solo practice session or team brainstorm. Add your own interpretation and keep the prototype within your available time.
Use the game jam promptsLoad One room, one switch. Draw the interaction on paper and test whether pressing the switch creates a meaningful choice. Save art and progression for later.
Load Borrowed light. Spend ten minutes proposing interpretations, pick one room and one action, then agree what will be cut if time runs short.
Give groups the same prompt. Ask each group for a player goal, three rules and a paper prototype. Compare how the same constraint leads to different games.
Load The memory market and replace its resource with tokens. Write a turn order and test two turns by hand; the tool supplies inspiration, not a finished board game.
Choose the game idea generator for a setting and concept, or the game jam prompt generator for a named theme and constraint. Both offer genre and build-time choices.
