Games created for this global competition in Brazil, in partnership with GameJam+, were inspired by the title Tales and Seeds: An ethno-botanic journey through tales from Brazil. Applicants from over 65 cities worldwide competed with 49 game prototypes to participate in the next phase of mentoring and incubation, where industry experts help with game development and the TALES team helps with ecological and ancestral storytelling.

25 prototypes are currently going through the second stage of incubation. Finalists to be announced in April 2023.
