CrazyGames is set to launch its exciting Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 this week, running from April 25th to May 5th. In partnership with Photon, the world's leading multiplayer service provider, this 10-day global game development marathon invites indie developers to showcase their creativity in building innovative web-based multiplayer games. Participants have the chance to win a share of €10,000 in cash prizes, along with premium Photon licenses, which include:
- 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year (€7,500 value)
- 500 CCU for a year (€1,500 value)
- 100 CCU for a year (€100 value)
The event has minimal restrictions, requiring only that games be developed and submitted within the jam period and adhere to PEGI 12 rating standards. This freedom allows developers to unleash their creativity and explore new ideas in the realm of multiplayer gaming.
Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has become the go-to platform for free online gaming, leveraging HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI technologies to deliver seamless browser-based gaming experiences across thousands of titles. During the jam, CrazyGames, in collaboration with Photon, will offer support and the opportunity for winning games to be published on its platform.
To gear up for the event, a pre-jam livestream will be hosted on YouTube and LinkedIn on April 24th at 4 pm CEST. This session will provide insights into two new WebGL platforms, Fusion and Quantum. Mark Val, Head of Growth at Photon Engine, shared, "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 great 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 skill levels. Interested participants can find more information and register on the official jam page.
