More about us…
Our beautiful studio is located in downtown Oakland, two blocks from BART and right next to gorgeous Lake Merritt, which provides the perfect setting for a lunchtime picnic, stroll, or run around its 3.5-mile loop. We have an open, collaborative office, full of fun coworkers, breakout spaces, and games.
We don\’t just make games, we love playing them too! Around the office, we have board games, consoles, and ping pong and pool tables. Need to take a break to loosen up and boost your creativity? Get a free massage in our dedicated massage room! If you enjoy a 2-wheeled commute to work, we\’ve got you covered with in-office bike racks and showers. We don\’t offer daily food service because guess what? We want you to have a life outside of work, too; we love our jobs, but we don\’t want to live here. Instead, we hold a twice-a-month communal lunch and hang out together. After work, you can usually find us trying new local bars and restaurants, attending art, music, and sporting events, and just exploring all that our neighborhood has to offer.
Come be the next Big Fish in the Pond!
