We are masterfully trained in the electronic arts with a combined nerd experience that has published 20+ video games (many of which have been in the App Store Top 10).

Working at Nerd Ninjas

We want to build great products and great friendships. In addition to the impromptu gaming, one of the best ways to foster this in a fully remote studio is through retreats! Twice a year, we get together in the beautiful Pacific Northwest for an incredible time: escape rooms, murder mysteries, zip lining, white water rafting, indoor waterparks, mountaintop dinners, private casinos, and so much more. Join us for amazing weekends you’ll never forget!
