BerlinA MAZE. and SyncReality XR GAME Jam

The A MAZE. and SyncReality XR GAME Jam is organized by A MAZE. and is part of the official program of A MAZE. / Berlin 2023 – 12th International Games and Playful Media Festival in collaboration with the Berlin-based company SyncReality.

This hybrid game jam brings together playful media (game, VR, XR) creators to reach new levels of immersion, playfulness and performance in XR by creating playable prototypes with the freshly developed XR design tool SyncReality.

Learn more about the design tool on SyncReality’s website and join the Discord community server.

This is SyncReality’s launch event for the Beta version of their tool, which offers a complete rebuild of the Alpha version: more lightweight, more powerful, and easier to operate. Participants will be onboarded to this Unity tool before the game jam, so you can hit the ground running!
