Not everyone knows that the packages we ship to top100 best entries (and all the experts) every year for free contain not only unique t-shirts, but also different kinds of swag. This year? Coasters, and some fancy version of our stickers as a bonus!

The swag bag usually contains a t-shirt, our own stickers (js13kGames, Enclave Games, Gamedev.js), and stickers from our (Gold and up) Partners. There’s also something extra that we usually don’t advertise much: gadgets. Over the years, those were:

  • 2012: handwritten thank-you letter
  • 2013: printed and signed letter
  • 2014: 3,5" floppy disk
  • 2015: pendrive
  • 2016: -
  • 2017: VR cardboard
  • 2018: CD
  • 2019: bottle opener / magnet
  • 2020: pen
  • 2021: keychain
  • 2022: coaster

This year’s gadget is a coaster - the little thing you can put under your cup or glass to not ruin the surface underneath. We also included different versions of our stickers over the years, and this time we wanted to make something extra - a glitter one!

All that “cool stuff for you to enjoy” on top of the t-shirts as a token of gratitude for your participation over the years. I do hope those who got that swag are enjoying using it as much as we enjoyed making it!

What do you think about those gadgets? Which items do you still have? Which ones would you like to get the most?
