In January 2017, the Museum of Humor and Satire hosted The First Edition of Gabrovo Game Jam – a 48-hour creative marathon that brings together programmers, artists, writers and game enthusiasts to turn an abstract topic into a working prototype.
The museum was not just a host – it combined the cultural context of humor with digital creativity, creating a unique environment for experimentation, collective thinking and fun.
Since then, the House of Humor and Satire has hosted it every year (with a short break due to Covid), with Gabrovo Game Jam establishing itself as a long-standing tradition and part of the Global Game Jam, uniting young people with diverse interests. The event is not just about creating games – it offers a community, sessions with mentors and the opportunity to showcase the results to an audience and other participants.
In 2026, Gabrovo Game Jam enters a new phase.
The eighth edition will be held from January 30 to February 1 at the Youth Center – Gabrovo, with the Museum of Humor and Satire passing the baton into the hands of enthusiasts from the same generation as the participants. 🙂
