No AI. Ever.

Everything a jam team needs for the weekend — free and fully editable, with a 30-day read-only window after to export or keep going.

Two days early, editable for the whole jam

Access opens two days before your jam so nobody’s installing at the starting gun, and every team is free and fully editable right through to the closing whistle. After the jam ends the workspace stays read-only for 30 days so you can export or decide.

Pick your own dates. Global Game Jam sites, we’re looking at you: choose your 48 hours and just tell us when you register.

Who qualifies

Organized game jams and game-dev competitions, animation and art challenges, and student or society jams. Any size — a ten-person society jam counts as much as a thousand-person marathon.

How teams get in

Organizers

Organizers: register your jam below. Once we approve it you get a public jam page — set your team and seat caps, then share the link.

Participants

Participants: open your jam’s page to start a team (and share its invite link) or browse and join an open team. Each team gets its own shared workspace.

Register your jam

A few details. We review by hand and email your event page link — usually within a day.

Your estimate helps us size your event’s team and seat caps — set it a little above your expected turnout. You can ask us to adjust it any time.

For organizers: a ready-to-paste blurb

Organizers won't write their own sponsor blurb — so here's one, ready to paste:

[Jam name] teams get ThinkTea free — a shared workspace for planning, boards, and feedback on video and 3D, with no AI. Start or join a team at thinktea.me/jam/[your-jam].

Need a logo? Grab the brand pack — logos and a sponsor badge for every event type, SVG and PNG in light and dark, plus 50- and 100-word descriptions. Download the pack (ZIP) — or browse the files in the README.

What we ask in return

Please credit ThinkTea on your jam’s page and sponsor list — our name, logo, and a link back. That’s the deal: the full toolset for your whole jam, a mention in return. It takes a minute, and it’s how the next jam’s organizers find us.

After the jam

When the jam ends the workspace turns read-only for 30 days — every page, board, and upload stays exactly where it is, and export is always one click away. To keep editing (and keep it for good), any member can subscribe to Team ($4/seat per month) and it becomes theirs — the whole crew’s work, carried straight over. Workspaces that aren’t kept are removed after the 30 days.

No AI

ThinkTea has no AI features and never will — your work isn’t training data and your feedback isn’t autocompleted.
