Game Break | FEB 2026
🎮 Game Break | FEBRUARY 2026
Hello everyone!!
Welcome back! We’re kicking off our first Game Break of 2026 on February 6th, and we’re starting the year the best way possible:
We'll have a Global Game Jam showcase!!
If you joined the jam, bring your game and show what you created. It’s a great chance to get feedback and see how other teams approached the challenge. If you didn’t jam, come by to play new games, have a couple beers, and ease back into the year.
We’ll also have a short presentation and Q&A by Fernando, who will introduce Upupa, a week-long game maker camp focused on learning, sharing, and creating together. He’ll walk us through what the event is about and how to take part.
Bring your game, your curiosity, or just yourself. Let’s start 2026 together at the hub.
🗓 Date: 06 February
🕞 Time: 18h30 to 20h00
📍 Venue: gaminghub
