Crater House

08/12/2023

Thank you all for being part of our adventure. Crater House closed our doors back in 2017 and Leigh figured it was finally time for a send-off post. 🥲

We had ups and downs, failures and successes, successes disguised as failures, and absolutely surreal moments that made us shrug at each other and laugh.

🏡🌈

Each of us will take the experience with us always. You can follow our careers here:

🏡❤️

And now, for one last time, please enjoy our pitch:

Crater House provided full service game development, from concept to launch.

Together, we created exciting, uniquely creative games and intellectual properties for international brands—including Shaq Sky Slam for Shaquille O'Neal, and original design and development for The Israel Antiquities Authority, Tyson Chicken, Kraken Rum, and the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center.

Crater House was founded by alumni of USC’s Interactive Media Division, voted “Top School to Study Game Design” for 4 consecutive years by The Princeton Review. While at USC, our founders developed games with the Game Innovation Lab, as well as the Creative Media and Behavioral Health Center, in studies funded by the Gates Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Our valued clients and partners have included:

• The Israel Antiquities Authority
• Maya Cohan Productions
• Shaquille O’Neal
• One Spear Entertainment
• The California Indian Museum and Cultural Center
• Tyson Chicken
