The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game creation event taking place around the globe, typically at physical locations. A "game jam" is essentially a hackathon focused on game development. In 2022 Humber hosted the Game Jam at Humber North Campus, there were 22 teams participating in the event. You can check out our interview with some of the teams from Humber College participating this year by Harrison Smith.

Most addictive game
1) Warloch: This game is addictive when you start playing it. It is repayable. It can run on both PC and Touchscreen. I was spending over 20 min playing this game. It is smart, creative, and has so many deep layers. Another point is that it is really functional, out of any web game published, this one is the only one that can load and play smoothly.
Best Single achievement
2) Through The Darkness: This game is just so good, best in everything, and developed by a single person. The only draw back is that it isn't repayable but it will make the players spend some time to break it.
