It's Behind Me Game Jam Roundup!
We're still having a blast playing the games created by our members during our most recent Game Jam! Keep reading to see all of the cool projects they worked on...
Once again another game jam is behind us, and we’ve had a BLAST! We’ve loved seeing all of the spooky games that have come from our members and wanted to take some time to look at some of our favourites!
CATS Makecode Arcade Edition by Max
Max gives us a really cool game with some fun momentum based platforming! This game also comes with some really good background music!
What's Behind Me? by Emma
Emma gives us a little quiz to take part in, naming the characters and objects behind the scratch cat! All in front of a really cool background!
Where Is The Spider by Audrey
Audrey came to us with a really cool animation with excellent voice acting too! Will our main character ever come across the mysterious spider?
It's Behind Me Isn't It? by Niall
Niall takes the makecode base game and gives us a really funny ending cutscene if you lose! Did we ever think about WHY the ghost was chasing us?
There’s just a few of our favourites from this game jam! If you want to play these or any other game jam games, head over to the game jam tab on your dashboard!
About our game jams
A game jam is a themed build: we announce a theme, and children across the Academy spend a few weeks making something from it. There is no brief beyond the theme and nothing to finish by a deadline you can fail. Children share what they made on our own platform, where chat and sharing between members is moderated by mentors.
Jams are included in Academy membership. They are the part of the Academy where everybody is working on the same thing at once, which for a self-paced course is worth having.

The blog is in two halves. Guides are the evergreen explainers written by the mentors who teach the clubs, covering the questions parents actually ask: what comes after Scratch, how to support a coding-mad child when you cannot code yourself, and what works for autistic and ADHD children.
Club news is the other half, and it is where posts like this one live: game jams, Minecraft builds and weekly roundups, written up by whoever ran the session. Neither is marketing. If you want to know what the work actually looks like before you sign up to anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
