Crazy Games and Photon Kick Off 10-Day Global Web Multiplayer Jam 2025

CrazyGames is set to launch its exciting Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 this week, running from April 25th to May 5th. This 10-day event, hosted in partnership with Photon, the world's leading multiplayer service provider, invites indie developers from around the globe to dive into a thrilling game development marathon focused on creating innovative web-based multiplayer games.

Participants in the Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 have the chance to win a share of €10,000 in cash prizes, along with premium Photon licenses. The enticing prize pool includes:

• 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year (valued at €7,500)
• 500 CCU for a year (valued at €1,500)
• 100 CCU for a year (valued at €100)

The only strict rules for the event are that the games must be developed and submitted within the jam period and must adhere to PEGI 12 rating standards. Beyond these guidelines, developers are encouraged to let their creativity soar and explore the vast possibilities of multiplayer gaming.

Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has emerged as the premier platform for free online gaming, leveraging HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI technologies to deliver seamless browser-based gaming experiences across thousands of titles. In collaboration with Photon, CrazyGames will provide support throughout the event and offer the opportunity for winning games to be featured on its platform.

To kick off the jam, a pre-jam livestream will be held on YouTube and LinkedIn on April 24th at 4 pm CEST. This session will offer insights into two new WebGL platforms, Fusion and Quantum. Mark Val, Head of Growth at Photon Engine, emphasized the significance of these platforms, 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 good 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 experience levels. For more information and to sign up, visit the official jam page.
