Crazy Games and Photon Unveil 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, 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 jam have the chance to compete for a substantial prize pool of €10,000 in cash, along with premium Photon licenses. The available licenses include a 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year valued at €7,500, a 500 CCU for a year worth €1,500, and a 100 CCU for a year priced at €100. The only 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.

Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has grown to become the most popular platform for free online gaming, leveraging HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI technologies to deliver seamless browser-based gaming experiences for thousands of titles. In collaboration with Photon, the leading multiplayer service provider, CrazyGames will not only support developers throughout the event but also offer the chance for winning games to be published on their platform.

To kick off 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, 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 parties can find more information and register on the official jam page.
