Our Studio
Hi, I'm Josh! My background's in escape room design, and I studied video game design and development at university. PuzzLab began during COVID as a way to bring escape rooms online so friends could keep playing together - and it grew from there into its own indie game studio.
Our goal is simple! Make the games we want to play, with satisfying puzzles and bloody good stories.
