We are excited to announce that EPOMAKER proudly sponsored the Utah edition of Campfire, a beginner-friendly game jam organized by Hack Club. As one of the key sponsors, EPOMAKER provided premium mechanical keyboard gear—including the QK108 full-size keyboard, Split65 split design gaming keyboard, and Creamy Jade switches—to support young creators throughout the event.
Held on February 28 in Draper, Utah, this 12-hour in-person game jam brought together high school students to design, build, and showcase original games in a collaborative and creative environment.
