Smoochie Jam is a month-long unranked jam for interactive fiction about kisses, love, and romance. The name and concept of this jam were inspired by the original SmoochieComp in 2001, hosted by Emily Short. Previous editions: 2025, 2024
Games should be about romance, kissing, or the deliberate subversion thereof. Here is an optional list of story ideas and concepts:
first kiss, last kiss
kissing in the rain
kiss of life (or kiss of death)
sealed with a kiss
kiss with a fist
spaghetti kiss
This year, we’re adding an optional Rashomon rule: This optional rule asks to have at least 2 perspectives of the same event in your game. For example, if two characters are on a date, you could show the POV of the two people dating, or of any people around them!
