Prizes
How the night runs
- 5:30 doors. Food, drinks, find your people. Bring a laptop and a charger.
- 6:15 theme reveal. Sealed until the room hears it.
- 6:30 teams. Fifteen minutes, hard stop. Up to 4 per team, solo is allowed. Draw your team emblem on your sticker.
- Build until 12:30. Stand-ups at 9:30: every team gets 90 seconds to show what they've got, while dinner lands.
- 12:30 judges play. Build stops. The judges come to your table and play your game.
- 1:00 demos. Two minutes per team on the big screen. People's choice voting opens on the screen.
- 1:45 winners. Announced in the room, all four prizes paid on the spot. Photo. Out by 2.
Judging
- Three judges score every game on the night: fun (counts double), theme, polish, originality. Each out of 10, averaged. Highest total takes 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
- People's choice is the room's vote: one form on the screen after the last demo, one vote each, not for your own team. Winner gets $250 in hand before the doors close.
- What counts: it runs on Roblox, it's playable by a stranger, it uses the theme. Rough is fine. A tiny game that works beats a big one that doesn't.
- You keep everything. Your game is yours. We'll ask before featuring it in the recap.

GOLEM Lite
Blender to Roblox Studio in one click. Export a model and it lands in your game placed, textured, animations attached, in the right folder. No manual import, no scale fixing, no renaming. It's the pipeline we ship our own games with.
Every team at the jam can use it. Install takes five minutes: a Blender add-on, a Studio plugin, and a small desktop app that keeps them talking. You bring your own Roblox Open Cloud key, so everything lands in your game, on your account.
Windows 10+, Blender 4.2 or newer, Roblox Studio, an Open Cloud API key on your account or group. Mac build after the jam. Full walkthrough at omggames.gg/golem.
