Enter Africa Lagos Participates in Global Game Jam 2020

Enter Africa Lagos, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Nigeria and NG_Hub from Facebook, recently brought together an interdisciplinary team of professionals for the Global Game Jam 2020.

The Global Game Jam is the largest game creation event taking place simultaneously, in different locations around the world — including the member countries of the Enter Africa network.

Enter Africa Lagos’ Game Jam held at NG_Hub Yaba between January 31 and February 1, 2020, and had 20 registered Jammers who worked together to create a game around this year’s theme: ‘Repair’.

During the Game Jam weekend, Jammers created Yaba’s Quest, a post-apocalyptic adventure game that follows a super robot’s journey to repair a damaged world and the volatile relationship between the world’s human and automated populations.

Yaba’s Quest is available for PC and can be downloaded on the Global Game Jam’s site.

Enter Africa is a creative African network represented in 15 African countries. The project was initiated by Goethe-Institut in 2018 and exists to create a gaming ecosystem that represents African culture and re-imagines African futures.
