Le plus grand événement de création de jeux au monde qui s’est déroulé en simultané du 30 janvier au 1er février, dans près de 800 lieux dans le monde, avec un thème commun : "Mask".
La deuxième plus grande édition de la Global Game Jam 2026 de Suisse s’est déroulée à Pyxis. En 48 heures seulement, 50 participant·es ont réussi le challenge de développer 12 jeux vidéo.
Cet événement a été organisé par Frédéric Cottier (Nuclear Pig), Samuel Jaccottet et Pyxis Explo, en collaboration avec JV.mag et avec le soutien de Pro Helvetia, Fondation suisse pour la culture.
Le déroulement de la Global Game Jam 2026 à Pyxis a été documenté par Robin François et Armin Hadzikadunic de JVMag, que nous remercions chaleureusement, à travers deux articles publiés au début de l’événement et en cours de Jam.
Tango Theater
You are a new member of the secretive Tango Theater troupe! But to fully be part as a member, you must pass their grueling dance initiation!
Follow and repeat the movements of your fellow dancers with a jump, a squat, a sway or a twirl. As the game progresses, you will get longer and longer combination of moves.
However be careful as your partners are also prone to make mistakes, and it can be hard to keep track with this stuffy costume on. Can you become a master of the Tango Theater?

Mask 1.6
A shooter game for people who can't aim.
Good Evening!
Good Evening! is a game in which you take on the role of and evening ball host, having to seat each guest next to someone they'll get along with — here's where things get complicated: each guest is wearing a mask that changes who they are and how they think.
This is a social deduction and strategic placement game set during an aristocratic masquerade ball. Every guest wears a mask that changes how they communicate: some always tell the truth, others always lie, some cannot speak or listen, and some ignore social conflicts; the player must place them wisely around the tables ensuring they all have a good evening.
Inspired by the MASK theme of Global Game Jam 2026, the game explores how appearances hide intentions, and how true power comes from understanding others rather than force.
