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 10-day global game development marathon is being organized in partnership with Photon, the world's leading multiplayer service provider. The event invites indie developers from around the world to showcase their creativity by developing innovative web-based multiplayer games. Participants will have the chance to compete for a total of €10,000 in cash prizes, as well as premium Photon licenses. These include a 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year valued at €7,500, a 500 CCU for a year at €1,500, and a 100 CCU for a year at €100.

The only stringent rules 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 requirements, developers are encouraged to let their creativity soar.

Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has become the premier destination for free online gaming, leveraging technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI to deliver smooth browser-based gaming experiences for thousands of titles. In collaboration with Photon, CrazyGames will support developers throughout the jam and offer the chance for winning games to be published on its 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, Photon Engine’s Head of Growth, emphasized the potential 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. For more information and to sign up, visit the official jam page.
