What to expect
With nearly 100 attendees, NMS is bigger than ever. That means that most of you have never been at our special flavor of game jam before. This is a short list of things:
Eating. You’ll have to feed yourself, there’s a big ICA Maxi right next to the venue and a few restaurants.
Power. Please bring a power strip big enough to cover your own use and at least one more.
Internet. There’s wifi at the venue.
Sleeping. You can sleep at the venue, but there are only six proper beds. Note that you can only sleep there during the event, so not Thursday or Sunday night.
Cooking. There’s a kitchen you can use as well as limited space in a fridge.
Swimming wear. The venue is right near the ocean, if the weather is nice, we’ll go for a swim.
Arriving on time. You are free to arrive whenever you feel like it, also just dropping by for a few hours is totally cool.

Travel tips
The venue is right near the central train station. It’s on bus line number 3 (you can plan trips using Google maps or this). If you’re flying in, the best airport is probably Copenhagens Kastrup. There’s a train from there to Malmö central station, it costs about 100SEK and should take just under 20 minutes. Malmö also has an airport, it’s way smaller and 40 minute bus ride away.
Sadly, there are no hostels that are nearby, but I’m sure we can work that out somehow.
Please poke us if you have any further questions!
