🧙 Two weeks ago, students joined IGM Professors Willoughby, Sanchez, and Baker for a 48-hour game jam with a twist... the dice decided your fate!

Students tackled using unpredictable game engines, unique art styles, and funky premises to put together 18 games by the end of it! 🎲

🔗 You can check out just some of the wacky games at the link in our bio!

🎲 The Roll Your Fate Game Jam is back for Spring 2026! Each team will randomize their game’s theme, genre, and more (although they’ll have the option of rerolling/choosing).
