On October 16–18, the Azerbaijan stage of the "GameJamPlus 2026" international game hackathon was held at the "INNOLAND" Incubation and Acceleration Center, organized by "Gamepons" and "IGDA Azerbaijan" with the support of "INNOLAND".

During the hackathon, more than 90 participants across 23 teams developed game prototypes over the course of 48 hours. Teams selected one of the themes—“Better Together”, “One More Time”, or “Something’s Off”—to develop their game concepts. At the end of the event, 19 teams presented their games to the jury.

The games developed by the participants were tested by the jury and evaluated on the "HackathonHost" platform. Based on the results, the "Clockwork" team emerged as the winner of the Azerbaijan stage with their game "Keep Locking". All 19 teams that presented their games qualified for the next stage of the "GameJamPlus" program.

"GameJamPlus" is an international program that brings together game developers from 35 countries around the world. The program begins with a 48-hour hackathon and continues through incubation, continental semi-finals, acceleration, and global final stages. Throughout these stages, teams gain the opportunity to refine their game projects and showcase them on an international level.

Registration for the hackathon was carried out via the "HackathonHost" platform.

The "INNOLAND" Incubation and Acceleration Center provided participants with conditions to turn their game ideas into prototypes, work on their projects, and demonstrate their creative potential.
