About Dig-It! Games®
Dig-It! Games™ is not your typical game studio. We are a mission-based company; everything we do is driven by the goal of having a positive impact on education. We believe in the power of game-based learning to enhance education by promoting critical thinking, independent learning, and the joy of intellectual discovery. Our games incorporate age-appropriate content in math, science, social studies and language arts into fun, interactive and engaging learning experiences. Through our seamless blend of fun and learning, we seek to inspire kids to think differently about learning. Our goal at Dig-It! Games is not just to teach academic subjects through our games, but to get kids excited about learning. To that end we do numerous outreach projects. From opening our studio to the neighborhood, to being a field trip destination for school children, we seek to engage kids' imaginations and expose them to new opportunities. Hands-on outreach with kids is a required part of being a Dig-It! Games team member.
Our corporate culture centers on one theme: collaboration. We are an agile studio and encourage everyone to contribute to all aspects of game design and development. We value all input and strive to make products the whole team can take pride in, both as a group and individually.
But perhaps most important is our philosophy that fun comes first: kids won't play a game unless it's fun and if we're not having fun making those games, we're doing it wrong!
