By Gameslash Editorial
RUN's Creator Jam runs October 8–November 2, 2026. Create games, stories, or videos with AI for a share of the $30,000 prize pool and receive free starter credits.
RUN launches the October Jam: Monster Mash event from October 8 to November 2, 2026. Creators are invited to use AI to develop games, stories, or videos with a monster theme on the RUN platform. A total prize pool of $30,000 USD is offered, and participation is free.
Collaborators can work on projects via Game Studio, Adventure Studio, Story Studio, Video Studio, or CLI compatible with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT/Codex. Projects must begin after the prompt opens on October 8 at noon Pacific Time and must be published publicly with an Enter the jam submission via Creator Hub by November 2 at noon Pacific Time. Simply posting work does not count as an entry.
Community voting runs from October 15 to November 6, with prizes including top-voted game rankings, team selection awards, story and video categories, and 4 special categories. Organizers state that free credits start at 100,000 and prohibit submissions that began development before the Jam opens or that directly copy characters and images with copyright.
