CrazyGames is set to launch its Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 from April 25th to May 5th, marking a 10-day global game development marathon for indie developers. In partnership with Photon, the leading multiplayer service provider, this jam aims to foster the creation of innovative web-based multiplayer games. Participants have the chance to win a share of €10,000 in cash prizes and premium Photon licenses, which include:
- 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year (€7,500 value)
- 500 CCU for a year (€1,500 value)
- 100 CCU for a year (€100 value)
The event's only strict rules are that games must be developed and submitted within the jam period and meet PEGI 12 rating standards. Beyond these guidelines, developers are encouraged to unleash their creativity.
Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has become the premier platform for free online gaming, leveraging HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI technologies to deliver seamless browser-based gaming experiences across thousands of titles. Alongside Photon, CrazyGames will offer support throughout the event and provide a platform for winning games to be published.
A pre-jam livestream is scheduled for April 24th at 4 pm CEST on YouTube and LinkedIn, where participants can learn about two new WebGL platforms: Fusion and Quantum. Mark Val, Head of Growth at Photon Engine, emphasized the potential of WebGL, stating, "Photon has supported multiplayer WebGL for over a decade, and our new Fusion and Quantum samples let you create high-performant multiplayer games easily. We believe a WebGL game will be in the top 20 of the world's most visited websites in the coming year, and the Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 is a great opportunity for everyone to innovate on the platform."
Registration for the Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 is free and open to game developers of all skill levels. Interested participants can find more details and register on the official jam page.
