Our Valued Clients
Our Team
We were founded in 2009 by a group of experienced software developers and engineers. Our game development team can bring your game to life from design to release and everything in-between, whether it's fixing bugs, building tools, creating 2D or 3D art, designing levels, constructing intuitive UI, and more.
Even as the studio has grown to over 200 employees, we always stay true to our philosophy of being a no-crunch studio guided by one simple principle: People First. We strongly believe that a team needs to be happy, healthy, and be free to have a life outside of the office to do their best. This attitude helped us to be named one of the Best Places to Work in Ottawa, Best Places to Work in Canada, and be the home to the Best Boss in Canada.

Visit Ottawa
As the capital of Canada, Ottawa has a rich history as well as numerous attractions, museums, and galleries to explore across the city. Skate on the Rideau Canal in the winter, bike the Capital Pathways, or even take a hike in Gatineau park, as well as many more locales beyond the city limits.
And Snowed In Studios has a host of internal events and meetups you can attend. You can meet Ottawa’s local game dev scene at meetups Snowed In hosts, as well as drop in on our D&D and movie nights, and potlucks and BBQs throughout the year!
