Color Jam is a puzzle-y coloring game with no winners or losers. Instead, players create art through gameplay, discovery, personal goals, and evolving preferences as they color. In a multiplayer setting, players may find their goals and preferences overlap or diverge during and before play, leading to surprising outcomes and works of art. Sometimes due to player choices or the puzzle of the game, odd color choices are inescapable. Can you change the story of the picture to fit surprising colors?

Color Jam is a puzzle-y coloring game where you make your own goals as you color in a picture — there are no winners or losers. When playing with others, you may find yourself discussing, negotiating, or even competing over different visions for the picture as you pursue your goals.
