A game jam from 2026-05-31 to 2026-06-30 hosted by manonamora, Autumn Chen & Lapin Lunaire Games. Create a tiny Interactive Fiction piece in
Returning for a 4th edition!
The Neo-Twiny Jam is an interactive fiction game jam with one primary rule:
Don't write more than 500 words.
Any type of Interactive Fiction is welcome, from any kind of IF system/format, regardless of genre/theme.
Unlike the original Twiny Jam, you can use any program/medium, as long as the piece can be considered Interactive Fiction (i.e. the game is interactive, and its focus is on the text).
The Jam is open to any language, as long as the word count is respected.
Sounds, graphics and code are not included in the word count.
Entries can have NSFW content, as long as you indicate it in your submission.
You must credit any asset used.
No AI/LLM generated content, incl. game cover/title card.
No Hate/Spam submissions.
The Neo Twiny Jam will run from June 1st 2026 (3:00 PM PDT) to June 30th 2026 (11:59 PM PDT).
The inspiration for this jam comes from Porpentine's Twiny jam, which ran in 2015. During the original three-week jam, creators were asked to submit a Twine game with no more than 300 words.
As in previous years, we will be matching the number of entries into a donation to an LGBTQ+ charity. This year's chosen organisations include Point of Pride, Campaign for Southern Equality, and Transgender Law Center. Please contact us if you would like to donate as well.
We will track entries on Tumblr with the #neotwinyjam, but you can also tag @neointeractives/@neo-twiny-jam!
