About the challenge

Haven Las Vegas is a free 12-hour game jam for teens ages 13-18. At Haven, participants will group into teams and spend the day programming their own games!

This event is run with Hack Club, which is a US-based nonprofit that empowers teenagers to program and create hardware and software projects around the world. Previously, we also hosted another software event, Jackpot, in Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, many teens interested in technology and game development have a hard time finding opportunities to meet peers who share their interests. Our goal is to allow them all to collaborate, create new meaningful connections, and get hands-on experience working on a technical project. 

Get started

Come to our location bringing nothing but a device that you can code on! We'll provide the rest. If you want, feel free to bring your friends so you can form a team up to 3 people. Sign up through this link (it helps us get more funding!): https://haven.hackclub.com/las-vegas
