HUMANITY Stage Jams invite our community of USER STAGES designers to craft new levels based on a central theme. For August 2025, the theme is START SWITCH!  The START SWITCH is a gameplay mechanic where the player must place all commands prior to turning it ON. Once enabled, the player (Shiba Inu) is no longer able to give instructions to humans via commands. This allows you to create stages that unfold like a giant Rube Goldberg machine, guiding the player toward the goal according to your design.

We look forward to seeing puzzling stages where your unique ideas shine, featuring surprising chains of events that defy expectations!

Stage creators of all skill levels are welcome to participate, and if you’re just a player, keep your eyes peeled for a STAGE JAM playlist within USER STAGES highlighting stages made as part of the theme!

Creators can take this theme in any direction they’d like. To highlight the theme even more, we’ll play these stages during our HUMANITY Hub Community Stream in August. Follow our Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience to be notified when we go live.

Join the Enhance Discord server at https://discord.gg/enhance, and share your creations in the #create-and-share channel. Discuss stage creation ideas, learn more about creating stages, or play stages together.

How to participate (it’s simple!):

• 📖 Create and upload new stages (not ones that have been shared before, please) inspired by the monthly theme. Feel free to interpret the theme any way you want!

• 🏷️ Don’t forget to share with the monthly Stage Jam tag (in this case, it’s START SWITCH JAM)

• ✏️ Share your jam creations in #create-and-share on Discord[discord.gg].

• 🎮 Play and discuss stages made by other creators.

Jam guidelines:

1. We ask that participating stages be new creations designed after the jam theme’s announcement, not something that you have already created or uploaded.

2. Have fun, and encourage others who are designing.
