Dbljump is the online encyclopedia for the games industry.
Our articles organize all the data you want to find - technical info, media, credits, and more - plus written content that's verifiable against published sources. Articles are created and improved by you.
The only platform of its kind
Nowhere else can you create the definitive article on your favourite gaming topic, with rich media, APA-style referencing, and structured data that creates a huge web of knowledge. Any game, gaming company or industry person is notable enough. We aim to offer the best visual presentation of any game database.
A mission to celebrate gaming
Games are changing the world. We love them, and we want to build the reference everyone uses to learn about games and creators. You can be part of this mission. We're constantly improving the platform, and as an editor you can influence our feature roadmap.
A community where you're valued
Every kind of person is welcome to join, provided you're able to write and edit from a neutral point of view and treat your fellow editors with respect and courtesy. We have plans to reward active editors and help all editors showcase their contributions.
Unique features are here today. More are coming soon.
