Welcome to the first Global Archiact Jam of 2016! We are calling on people from all across the world, to see who can make the best mobile VR game for Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. The grand prize, awarded to one winner for each track, includes three (3) HTC Vive Headsets AND free demo space at the first consumer VR conference and exhibition.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no theme, so create whatever you deem to be the best game.
