Oh snag, no JS! Oh, it looks like you don't have JavaScript enabled, it's understandable really, but some of the functionality on this site won't work. Unfortunately you can't get light or dark theme or automatically switch between English and Swedish.

Theme

The themes are generated at the start of the jam by taking random pairs of words submitted by participants. They will be added at the top of this page after the start of the jam.

Theme word rules:

Should only be one English word.
Should not be a game genre (e.g. FPS, RTS).
Keep it safe for work.

Our theme process ensures unique and challenging themes each jam. The themes are there for inspiration during brainstorming but you can pick something else as well.
