Qualitative analysis across the three events; Table 3 lists challenges by determining factor (language barriers, personality, competition, skills, software, duration) and the 4C skills affected, e.g. "Working in teams is not easy".

"Several shared individual and teamwork challenges present in the three events were identified. These challenges require attention, as they may affect the development of a game jam and the individual and collective learning processes."
