The Studio

We are an inclusive team of makers, united by a shared passion for play.

Our Story

Founded in 2000, PRELOADED believes play, in all contexts and for all audiences, has the potential to positively impact our world.

As a cross-disciplinary team of artists, designers, play specialists, and creative technologists, we are united by this shared mission – what we call Play with Purpose®.

Together, we create a vast range of playful experiences. We help organisations, brands, and institutions reach next-generation audiences, and partner with technology platforms to imagine the future of play

As a purpose-driven studio, we focus on projects that align with our values and prioritise transparency through regular team updates and clear decision-making processes.

We also believe work should fit into life, not the other way around. That’s why we offer flexible options, including hybrid and remote work, flexible hours, and a ‘work anywhere’ policy.

Always Learning

We believe in the power of lifelong learning and ensure there is time and space for career growth.

Scheduled studio-wide initiatives, such as our “Lunch ‘n’ Learn” program and JAMLOADED – our annual game jam – are much-loved highlights of the ‘learning’ calendar.

The Interview Process

If you’re interviewing with us, we recommend doing some prep to ensure your personality shines through.

What to expect: There will likely be at least two interviews, each with a different focus and team members. We’ll brief you on the focus and questions in advance, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare.

Get comfortable: All interviews start on Google Meet, so make sure you’re familiar with the platform. Screen sharing and permissions can sometimes be tricky, so it’s worth doing a test run before the meeting.

Demonstrate passion: We love to see your work and hear about your contributions. It’s not just about the final output, but the creative process and your learnings along the way.

Research us: We’ve got a strong mission and a long history. Take some time to learn about our values and the people you’ll be meeting. We’ll be doing the same.

Be curious: Interviews are a two-way conversation, so please bring your own questions for us!
