Color Jam has funded! We're so, so excited about making this coloring game a reality. Thanks to everyone for sharing, supporting, and helping this exist! And a major thanks to the incredible game designers Gene Koo and Joe Kell, as well as artist Erin Laue. You all made this something truly special.

One of our favorite things about Color Jam is seeing how people build a story around their coloring choices. Due to the game's puzzle, we stylized some spaces to be interpreted in different ways. In the photos below, the spaces in the middle right either be a hot air balloon or a part of a cactus!

Color Jam is designed by Gene Koo (@stickydoodler.bsky.social) and Joe Kell, with art by Erin Laue. We've loved seeing how players color in each picture in wonderfully different ways, navigating the puzzle of the game + a limited palette of 6 colors with surprising choices to craft a unique story.

The Vibes logo and the text, "Print and Play available now"

There is a spread of cards, one with trans pride colors, the "be gay do crime" meme, the "trans drake" meme, a drawing of the "autism creature" meme, and a cheeky little cat sketch with the words "Goofball" and "cinnamon".

Beside it is the text "Draw your own cards!   if you wanna"
