The SPRiG Lab at UNB Fredericton was proud to serve this past weekend as the Fredericton site for Global Game Jam events held province-wide, in collaboration with and InteractiveNB. The lab was hopping all weekend with games under construction that took up this year’s theme of “mask”. 🎭 We had close to 30 participants jamming in the SPRiG lab throughout the weekend, as part of 140 jammers across the province who created a total of 32 New Brunswick homegrown games for the event. Congrats to all who took part, and we are already looking forward to the next jam!

The SPRiG lab is proud to be the Fredericton host site for the Global Game Jam this weekend, one of four GGJ events in cities across New Brunswick coordinated by InteractiveNB. More info on how to participate below!
