Selain satu tema tertentu, panitia pusat GGJ 2016 juga memberikan tema tambahan yang disebut dengan Diversifier yang bisa menjadi acuan peserta untuk membuat game-nya. Diversifier tidak harus dipakai dalam game yang dikembangkan, tetapi lebih kepada untuk menegaskan tema utama yang dipakai plus untuk menambah kompleksitas game.
