The Text Adventure Literacy Jam is a parser-based text adventure authoring competition that challenges entrants to "Create a TEXT ADVENTURE game suitable for children with no prior experience.".

Non exhaustive rules include:
- English language.
- a VERB NOUN parser.
- report to the player if they use more than 2 words.
- games must have integrated tutorials.
- games must not use irrational or diagonal directions.
- games must be playable by using the keyboard alone but also permits touch/mouse/gamepad or voice inputs as secondary control methods.
- search and examine are synonyms.
This jam has a partner jam, "Concurso de iniciación a las aventuras de texto" (rough translation: Text Adventure Initiation Contest), for Spanish language entries, which has a very similar set of rules, but slightly different prize pool, and will have a completely different entries and winners.
