Game Jam Games 2015
In 2015 for the very first time, EYA invited people with all kinds of backgrounds (programmers, game designers, artists, business students or others interested in being innovative and creating something new) to plan, design and create games or apps together in 48 hours.
In cooperation with JamToday EYA organized a two and a half days long game and app creation marathon at the FH Joanneum in Graz, Austria. The EYA game jam focused on the topics eHealth, Go Green and Modern Family Life.

Granny, don’t die
Producers: Thomas KATTER, Susanna KATTER, Massimo ROSIN, Andrea STACHEL, Markus WEGER
Short description:
This is a cardgame about modern family management. It’s a game for the whole family and should be mostly entertaining, but also encourage to get out of old family traditions being discriminatory and one way thinking. You can choose to play with 2-5 players. Everyone has to play one family member and has to balance health, happiness and family money watching out for himself, the family and grandma. She is a NPC character getting worse every day and someone has to sacrifice time so that grandma survives 10 rounds.
In its core it is a cardgame with NFC chips and an android app. You secretly scan your action of choice so no one knows, if you really went to work or were just playing on your console the whole day at home. The app also triggers certain events after every round which are based on the family situation. The goal is, that no one dies (grandma included) until the 10th round.

Tag Hunter
Producers: Dominik GROSS, Martin HOLLERWEGER, Lorenz LEITNER, Stefan RASCHHOFER, Thomas TRAUNMUELLER
Short description:
TAG HUNTER motivates people to go for a run on a regular basis. The motivation is provided by giving users the chance to compete against each other on running tracks they have created themselves. The latter can be done my marking certain points of the track with NFC-tags which have to be tapped with the smartphone in the course of the run. The individual tracks as well as results can be shared among the users.
The challenge lies not only in reaching all the tags on the track within the shortest time but also to find the shortest connection between them. Users are setting notified when another user beats them on a certain track to keep them motivated to constantly keep improving themselves. This is going to be FUN!
