 The weekend of 1 and 2 November a GameJam was organised for a select group of developers, students and programmers. After a weekend of working to pieces, four presentations of new interactive concepts where realized. The task presented to the participants by the NPO, the Dutch Game Garden and the NLGD Festival of Games, had the news on 3 as subject. How can news be brought to viewers in a different way, attracting new viewers at the same time? And is it even possible to hook television up with games?
Rebel Technologies presented an overview of the possibilities in broadcasting, to give inspiration. The participants locked themselves up with the task in their personal 'brainstorm rooms', only to have a break for a drink or diner. Enthusiasm was overwhelming. In short, an inspiring weekend. On November 17 the winner will be made public during the NPOX festival at Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum.
