Three days dedicated to gaming, community and fun. Whether you’re joining into casual matches, testing your skills in tournaments, or just hanging out with friends, there’s something for everyone. Expect packed schedules, late-night laughs, pizza breaks, prizes to win, and a few surprises along the way. From new maps to classic favourites, it’s all about sharing the games we love together.
We want you to think back to some of your favourite experiences at LAN, either with LanOps or elsewhere, and make a game that takes you back to when things were simpler, the world was happier and a warm pint of carling didn't cost you £18. There are no official rules to this one and we encourage any and all submissions from the community, big or small.
We will have an in person Game Jam day at the BHF Priory Centre on Saturday the 9th of May where we encourage you to come show off what you're working on, join in on the sprint and help each other get over the line and playtest. We will also have a couple of Game Jam evenings in the run up to share what we're working on and help anyone looking to get started.
Submissions for this Game Jam will run until Midnight on Sunday the 10th of May.
Community voting will be allowed up until Midnight on Sunday the 24th of May.
We will be accepting submissions through itch.io, but if you have any trouble with this we are available to help. Community members can view, play and vote on submissions over a small number of categories so there is lots to play for here.
Please note that this is open to everyone in the community - the Saturday at BHF is completely optional but it would be great to see you guys there. You are welcome to work solo or as a team.

LanOps is a non-profit community run by volunteers. We have been hosting Gaming Events for over 20 years. Breaking from traditional LAN systems, such as massive tournaments, cash prizes and "uber-pr0" clans everywhere, LanOps set out with one goal:
Have Fun & Be Awesome.
We've migrated our website and services to a new host. Any issues please let us know asap via discord.

Insights
for Gamers.
Surviving
an All-Nighter at LanOps.
Attending a Bring Your Own Computer event like
LanOps which is a weekend marathon gaming session, some choose not to sleep to
make the most of the LAN Party. But to pull off an all-nighter can be a
significant challenge on your body and mind. Using neuroscientist studies on volunteers
who stayed awake for a prolonged period our club’s researchers have devised a
way to survive the night and what to expect if you decide to stay up all night gaming.
