Welcome to the official page for the Sydney Stealthjam - the world's first 48-hour game jam devoted to the stealth genre of videogames.

Held at the Sydney AIE campus in Ultimo, this leg of the Stealthjam will hope to be big and great and showcase the world of stealth to the world.

Kicking off at the campus on the second level of the Wentworth Park Grandstand on Wattle Street at 5pm (for a 6pm start), you'll be able to join as a team, or come along to either join a team on the night or freelance your skills to teams that need some art, music, or code.

Catering will be provided, as will fantastic computers with the latest technology and software packed into them - you won't even need to bring your own equipment! Just bring your sleeping bag, changes of clothing, toiletries, and your game-developing cap, and you'll be good to go!

For any specific questions you can visit the Official StealthJam site, and you can also tweet anything StealthJam related to @Sneaky_Bastards using the hashtag #StealthJam. We've also got some Frequently Asked Questions below.

Thanks to our sponsors at AIE, BlackBerry, Konami and more for making this whole event possible!

The $5 we're asking for goes towards the cost of pulling off the event, and proceeds go straight to charity!
