Overview
Blind Squirrel Games develops video games for publishers, studios and players on consoles, computers and mobile devices. Customers hire the studio to build complete games, share development work with an existing team, adapt titles to other platforms or update older releases. Artists, designers and engineers build the visuals and interactive systems behind each title, with project scope set around the needs of the publisher or studio. Alongside these contracted services, the studio creates its own games, giving it a business that combines development work for other companies with original releases. Founded in 2010, Blind Squirrel Games is headquartered in Irvine, California.
