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

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

Participants in the Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 will have the chance to compete for a share of €10,000 in cash prizes and premium Photon licenses. The prizes 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 only strict requirements for the event are that 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 new possibilities in web-based multiplayer gaming.

Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has become the go-to platform for free online gaming, leveraging technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI 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 published on their platform.

To kick off the jam, a pre-jam livestream will be held on April 24th at 4 pm CEST on YouTube and LinkedIn. This session will introduce 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. Interested participants can find more information and register on the official jam page.
