About this event
Egg Jam 2025 is going to be unlike any previous event.
We are going ALL OUT with it.
You’ll have 2 days to create a game with a team, based on a secret theme revealed at the start of the event.
We’re bringing in the full arsenal: main quests, side quests… and yes, even a shopping cart. Yes, you heard that right. A SHOPPING CART.
Form a team beforehand OR we can match you with crew mates. Max 3 per team.
Use any tool you want, even Roblox Studio, to craft your game!
Anyone aged 10–16 can join — whether you’re an aspiring game developer, curious to try new creative skills, or just looking for the most fun, social, creative event these holidays. Perfect for all skill levels, we have mentors there to help.
Lift off will be at the Youth Hub Christchurch, a purpose built environment for youth to engage!!
Get ready for the most insane Egg Academy event yet! It is not something you want to miss.

Egg Academy is a community for young creators (10+). Instead of mindless scrolling, youth use their devices for positive purposes -- making games, videos, art and stories with friends in a safe, fun virtual environment. We turn screen time into something meaningful and positive.
For $30/month, you’ll enter Egg Academy’s virtual world -- an amazing community platform to create not just consume. Membership gives you access to a supportive community of young creators, creative digi-skill challenges, unlimited live sessions (Mon–Fri, 4–6pm) and super fun events.
