Crazy Games, Photon Kick Off 10-Day Global Web Multiplayer Jam 2025

CrazyGames is set to launch its Crazy Web Multiplayer Jam 2025 this week, hosting a 10-day developer event from April 25th to May 5th. In collaboration with Photon, the world's leading multiplayer service provider, this global game development marathon invites indie developers to create innovative web-based multiplayer games. Participants can compete for a share of €10,000 in cash prizes and premium Photon licenses, which include:

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

The only strict guidelines for the event are that games must be developed and submitted during the jam period and must adhere to PEGI 12 rating standards. Beyond these requirements, developers have the freedom to let their imaginations soar.

Since its launch in 2014, CrazyGames has become the go-to platform for free online gaming, leveraging HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGI technologies to offer smooth browser-based gaming experiences across thousands of titles. In partnership with Photon, CrazyGames will support participants throughout the event and provide winners with the chance to have their games published on the platform.

A pre-jam livestream is scheduled for April 24th at 4 pm CEST on YouTube and LinkedIn, where attendees can learn about two new WebGL platforms: Fusion and Quantum. Mark Val, Head of Growth at Photon Engine, stated, "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 great 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 developers can find more information and register on the official jam page.
