If a game isn't comfortable to sit on, it won't get past me.

Head of Communications and Quality Control

Dastardly Designs Co. was created by two friends who have spent years in the gamification field, playtesting and reviewing games. We decided that the time was right to bring some of our own ideas to the marketplace, and started building our team.

Always brutally honest, but one of our best tests that a game is good enough!

Steve Wells

Designer/App Development

We’ve always had a deep-seated love of gaming. Our team members grew up playing the “classics” and enjoying games of all kinds.

 

Professionally, we started in the gamification world by doing some consulting, helping local companies build fun, interactive games for conventions and other events. It wasn’t long before we were doing reviews and talking about things we did and didn’t like about games. Through those reviews, we developed our own game ideas but never saw them through to the end ... until now!

 

We continue to remain active in the gaming community and help other designers and companies by testing and promoting games.
