During this period, there will be a certified group of mentors from different backgrounds and expertises [game design; marketing and monetization, development, sound engineering, etc], that will guide the teams. 

At the end of the 3rd day [Sunday 22nd], the teams will submit their game to a platform to be evaluated by a global jury.
