Successful participants will also have a chance to join Supercell at the end of a 4-month programme as permanent employees, having an opportunity to build their exciting ideas into hit games.

What is Spark? - Find out more!

The program is open to all experienced game makers with broad industry knowledge (diverse environments and genres), a can-do attitude and hands-on experience.
