Last updated: February 4, 2026
GlitchRealm Games is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making game development education accessible to students everywhere.
We operate glitchrealm.ca, a browser-based gaming platform where students and indie developers can publish their projects and reach real players.
GlitchRealm EDU is our educational program—not a separate legal entity. It operates under GlitchRealm Games as an initiative to bring hands-on game development learning to students.
Through GlitchRealm EDU, students learn programming, design, and project management by building real games that get published on the main GlitchRealm platform.
Students create browser-based games using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They learn by doing—not just watching tutorials.
Every project built through GlitchRealm EDU can be submitted to our main platform at glitchrealm.ca. Student games appear alongside other community submissions, giving young developers real experience publishing for an actual audience.
We provide free hosting on the GlitchRealm platform for all EDU projects. Students don't need their own servers or paid accounts—we handle the infrastructure so they can focus on learning and creating.
Students join a community of creators where they can share ideas, get feedback, and learn from each other. Our goal is to foster collaboration and mutual support among young developers.
GlitchRealm Games is nonprofit and focused entirely on education. We believe learning happens best when students work on real projects that matter.
Students working through GlitchRealm EDU follow the same submission process as any other community member:
Student projects are treated with the same respect and visibility as any other submission on our platform.
We are committed to making game development accessible to everyone, regardless of background, location, or technical resources.
GlitchRealm EDU is designed to work in schools, libraries, community centers, and at home. All you need is a browser and an internet connection.
GlitchRealm Games is fiscally sponsored by The Hack Foundation (d.b.a. Hack Club), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 81-2908499).
This means donations to GlitchRealm Games are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. All funds we receive go directly toward supporting our educational mission—providing free tools, hosting, and resources for students.
We are transparent about what we can and cannot guarantee:
Our goal is to provide valuable learning experiences and publishing opportunities, not to make promises we can't keep.
