Player spotlight · Survivor 51

Kilby is on Survivor.

You watched him enter the game. Welcome to the strange little studio he built before the island.

Dan Kilby, Noodle Goose co-founder and Survivor player

So, who is this guy?

A chaotic game designer in the world’s biggest social strategy game.

Dan “Kilby” Kilby is a Canadian game designer, filmmaker and co-founder of Noodle Goose. His work blends strategy, story, spectacle and human behaviour into experiences people can actually play.

Long before Survivor, Kilby was designing social games, live challenges and strange little worlds. Now the designer is inside the game—and Noodle Goose is coming with him.
