Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2025 is getting close

Submissions for Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2025 close on 30 April 2025.

At this point in time, 51 people have joined and two games have already been submitted. From what I know, we should have at least 8 to 10 games submitted. Obviously, I’m hoping that more people join and we get many more submissions before the closing date.

If the idea of writing a text adventure for beginners appeals to you, it’s not too late to start. You can still write a small game in one month. Small games are good for beginners.

Even if you’re not entering the competition, please play and rate all the games when they’re released on 1 May 2025. Games for beginners can make a refreshing change from what you’re used to. They’re also a good introduction to parser-based IF if you’re a choice-based player.

And it’s not too late to donate a prize! This doesn’t have to be anything really valuable, as we already have some very generous donations. Maybe a book or a T-shirt or a voucher of some sort. Just keep in mind that physical prizes will require postage costs.

I’ve tested a couple of games and, from what I’ve seen, this is going to be a really good competition. I can’t wait to see all the finished games.
