How was your experience with game jams?

Never heard of it before. Are you able to post link to this game jam? So I can learn more.

Your suggestions? Should I add blackjack with sats?

This is a very rough thought and needs more flushing out. But what about a game where players try to guess something about future blocks. You could use the live mempool as the datasource and would teach people about the mempool.

Players bet (with Sats) on transaction count, fee range, and time of next block.

Basically it's an event who will make a good game within a timeline from scratch and (depending on jam) within a theme. In my case it's a month. Before was GMTK with only 4 days and some really impressive submissions.

Blackjack was a joke though =))
