ShuffleComp 2025
A game jam from 2025-12-21 to 2026-02-03 hosted by manonamora, Autumn Chen & Lapin Lunaire Games. ShuffleComp 2025 ShuffleComp is a musical
ShuffleComp is a musical interactive fiction competition, first ran in 2014, where you make games based on songs chosen by fellow entrants. It has two phases: first, entrants submit a playlist of 8 songs. Then, playlists will be randomly created from the provided songs and sent to the entrants, and you’ll make games based on these playlists.
How it works:
Sign up for the game jam and/or submit a playlist of up to 8 songs here. This is due by December 15, 2025. You can make games without submitting songs, or submit songs without making games, but it is recommended that you do both. Songs from people not making games will only be used if there are not enough songs otherwise.
By December 20, if you indicated that you're interested in the jam, you'll receive a list of 8 songs by email, randomly selected from other participants' submissions. Now, you'll write a game (or up to 3 games) based on some of these songs. You can submit songs to this jam page.
Games are due by January 19, 2026. After which, you'll be able to vote for the following two weeks.
Rules for games:
Games should be interactive fiction in some way.
Games should be based on at least one of the songs you received, but can use any number of songs. You can interpret “based on a song” however you’d like.
Games should not include any generated AI content.
You can submit up to 3 games, using different songs or the same songs.
Voting will be based on the use of songs and the overall game goodness.
