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, kicking off a thrilling 10-day event from April 25th to May 5th. In partnership with Photon, the world's leading multiplayer service provider, this jam invites indie developers from around the globe to dive into a creative marathon focused on crafting 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 along with premium Photon licenses. The enticing rewards include:

• 500 CCU with Circle Starter for a year (valued at €7,500)
• 500 CCU for a year (valued at €1,500)
• 100 CCU for a year (valued at €100)

The only strict 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 guidelines, developers are encouraged to let their creativity soar and explore new possibilities in web-based gaming.

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

To gear up for the jam, 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. For more information and to register, visit the official jam page.
