Company Profile
Kwalee
Company Overview
Kwalee is a developer and publisher of mobile games based in Leamington Spa, England.
Our mission is simple: make amazingly fun, innovative and renowned games.
Kwalee is an expanding, independent, mobile game developer based in Leamington Spa. The town’s spa baths, library and park are just a 5 minute drive away. Situated on the first floor of a spacious, air-conditioned office which is bright, open plan and with enough space for a gaming chill-out zone.
Kwalee is different. We don’t have publisher-bound deadlines. Instead, we define our own ambitious targets, and we regularly and critically review our games. Every developer here plays console, computer and mobile games and each is free to feed ideas into any part of all the games. We aim to succeed but we know that hurdles lie on the path and we overcome them without looking back.
