Open to everyone regardless of background, 4 winning teams taking $20k home

LOS ANGELES — September 12, 2022 — Latinx in Gaming, a nonprofit (501c3) organization connecting Latines across the gaming industry worldwide, will host its first-ever mobile game jam, Quick Play, between October 7–November 18, 2022.

Hosted through itch.io, participants will have just over a month to come together and develop a mobile game for the chance to receive funding from a pool of $80,000 that will act as a mini incubator fund for the winning games to be fully developed and published on the Google Play Store.

Join Latinx in Gaming for an online opening ceremony over Zoom on October 7, featuring a guest speaker from Latin America’s mobile game development community, as well as the reveal of the game jam’s theme. The winners of Quick Play will later be announced during a closing ceremony on the official Latinx in Gaming Twitch channel on December 9.

There are no entry requirements to participate in Quick Play. Latinx in Gaming encourages mobile game developers from all heritages to showcase their abilities. During the closing ceremony, four winning teams will be announced and awarded $20,000 each from the $80,000 incubator fund along with future featured placement on the Google Play Store.

“Latinx in Gaming is thrilled to put on Quick Play to spotlight mobile game developers from all backgrounds,” said Cristina Amaya, Founder, and President of Latinx in Gaming. “We’re excited to see the creative submissions and are honored to be able to host a platform that will give mobile game developers the chance to show off their talent.”
