About Us

The Game Agency is passionate about making education and corporate training more effective. We help learners connect with training material through gamification programs and we turn educators into heroes powering them with fun games, serious software and impactful analytics. Our games have been played in over 100 countries and in 20+ languages and cover topics such as new-employee onboarding, sales training and product training, social skills, leadership development, security, safety, compliance, financial literacy, systems and processes, and customer service.

We are looking for a lead game designer to lead game design efforts across our product (The Training Arcade®) and custom game systems for adult learning and continuing education. The games involve unique systems that support learning objectives and involve collaboration across a large and talented team of visual designers, software engineers, instructional designers, product managers, producers and clients.
