Be really good at what you do. We have a high standard. We like to give our devs a lot of responsibility and ownership.

Our office is located beautiful Burnaby, British Columbia with a view that looks out over the northern mountains. Our office has around 49 in-house developers, but we’re a studio with a global reach.
Founded in 2008, Emerald City Games is a studio about pushing the boundaries in gameplay and art.

We practice an Open Office Environment™ without walls. It’s even easier to share ideas, techniques and even casual news with other developers.
