Make AWE Playable

Make AWE Playable

  • Welcome to the Unlikely Collaborators Game Jam. Where creators come together. Fast to build, think big, make games that matter. Two weeks, one shared challenge, infinite ways to play.

    This year's theme: Consciousness and identity through awe and wonder.

    At Unlikely Collaborators we explore something called Perception Box - the invisible framework that shapes how we interpret reality. In games, that box becomes visible, adjustable, playable.

    Camera angle. Point of view. Player agency. Scale. Rules. Change one, and perception changes. The map expands. Hidden assumptions surface. What felt fixed begins to shift. And in that shift, identity moves.

    Awe. Awe pulls us out of the familiar, out of center, into something larger than ourselves.

    Your challenge: Design that shift, build mechanics that create wonder, systems that move identity, moments where the frame reveals itself. Create something that expands the perception box.
