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, running from April 25th to May 5th. This exciting 10-day event, in partnership with Photon, invites indie developers worldwide to participate in a global game development marathon focused on creating innovative web-based multiplayer games. Participants have the chance to compete for a total of €10,000 in cash prizes and valuable premium Photon licenses, including:

• 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 requirements 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 unleash their creativity and innovation.

Since its inception in 2014, CrazyGames has become a leading platform for free online gaming, utilizing technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGL to provide seamless browser-based gaming experiences for thousands of titles. In collaboration with Photon, CrazyGames will support developers throughout the event and offer winners the opportunity to have their games published on their platform.

To kick off the event, a pre-jam livestream will be hosted on YouTube and LinkedIn on April 24th at 4 pm CEST. This session will introduce two new WebGL platforms: Fusion and Quantum. Mark Val, Head of Growth at Photon Engine, emphasized the potential 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 developers of all experience levels. To learn more and to sign up, visit the official jam page.
