Zoud GameLab Game Concept & GDD Starter Kit is the official template for writing your game concept document.
Summary: This kit walks jammers through a simple six-section template: game overview, core gameplay, financial literacy integration, visual style and player experience, development and future plans, and the team. It’s designed to help judges see a game’s vision, how it teaches financial literacy, and where it could go beyond the jam. Teams entering for awards or development funding need to submit it as a PDF through a public link, separate from the project budget.
Big Idea: A great game idea only counts if you can explain it clearly, including how the play itself teaches the money lesson.
Playable Takeaway: If you can describe your game in two or three sentences, you probably know what it’s really about.
