But what is a Game Jam? Well a game jam is usu­ally where every­one gath­ers on a day, watches a short video keynote with advice from lead­ing game devel­op­ers, and then a secret theme is announced.
The jam is known for help­ing fos­ter new friend­ships; increase con­fi­dence and oppor­tu­ni­ties within the gam­ing com­mu­nity. The jam is always an intel­lec­tual chal­lenge. Peo­ple are invited to explore new tech­nol­ogy tools, try­ing on new roles in devel­op­ment and test­ing their skills to do some­thing that requires them to design, develop cre­ate, test and make a new game in the time span of 24 hours

Also there will be a work­shop on the Game Maker toolkit hosted by Bene­dict Olumhense and Fran­cis Monye, Founder Tech Torque NG
