About Noodle Goose
We make play do more.
Noodle Goose is an independent Canadian studio building original games, immersive events and useful chaos.
Our story
We started by doing things “wrong.”
We met through online social-strategy games built around bluffing, alliances, chaos and outthinking the people around us. It was not the traditional route to starting a game company. We took the risk anyway.
Our first projects used game-based learning to support autistic youth working on communication, leadership and the transition to adulthood. The games had to be genuinely fun. Purpose could never be stapled onto the side.
That became our DNA: clever, accessible experiences with heart, purpose and just enough chaos.
Why a goose?
Bold. Fearless. Confident. Slightly ridiculous.
A goose goes its own direction, makes itself heard and never apologizes for taking up space. That is the kind of energy we bring to games and events.
Make good games. Do some good. Have a weird time.
