The event begins on April 17th, 2023, and the deadline to submit entries is May 7th, 2023, 3 pm UTC. Gathering and voting on games will take place from May 8th to May 21st, 2023.

Entry Submissions Process for Game Jam
Participants must use the Game Maker Gallery feature as a form of submission and remember to sign up in the form.
Participants must use at least 25 different assets. So, the game length should be at least five minutes (without timed collection quests). A 20-point scale will be used, and it will have four categories. These are, overall creative idea, level design, game design, and playability, and each has 5 points. Games must be made after the start date, and The Sandbox staff can remove any entry they want.
