A&B Game Jam is a short-time game development marathon that aims to foster the game development scene in the region of Cascavel, Paraná. The focus of A&B is not on competition, but rather on learning, socialization and fun. Organized since its third edition by the Computer Science PET group from Western Paraná State University, the marathon had its third edition held on- site at the university in 2019 and its fourth edition held online in 2020. The event has already attracted dozens of participants from the external community, stimulating them to develop their first game in a cooperative and learning environment, always being well evaluated by them. This work discusses the idea behind A&B, all the activities related to the organization of the third and fourth editions, as well as their goals and the lessons learned by the organization.
