It’s here again! The time has come to dress up, carve out some crazy pumpkins and of course play some spooktacular Halloween games! The team has been busy again celebrating our pagan past and we’ve done so in classic Matmi style with our latest game TerrorBalls! As we approach our 15th year in business we…
For those who know me it maybe a fair assumption to think that I like to talk. My talkative nature got me in trouble at school and being outspoken often got me in trouble with authority. Being a massive geek who is not afraid to challenge conventions and speak my mind led my way into…
The world without play is a world without purpose. I realised at the beginning of the millennium that I could change the way advertising works by using the power of play. Advertising had become dull and the Internet was a new frontier but as there was so much stuff to look at, it became too…
As part of The Global Goals, Matmi were asked to develop a fun game for the Dizzy Goals challenge. We were excited to be part of this initiative to raise awareness of the Global Goals for the United Nations and couldn’t wait to get stuck in. To score a dizzy goal you put your hand…

Matmi are looking for design generalists to work with our creative team developing social, online and mobile apps/games. We are not looking for concept artists or z-brush geniuses here. We like people who keep their n-dashes out of the gutter….

In this pre-Christmas post from our founder Jeff Coghlan, and following on from his recent talk at the brilliant SASCon event (Organised by the equally fantastic Ear to the ground) he warns his fellow creatives to stop always shooting for the obvious target. Just because you can do something, it doesn’t mean you should! We’ve got to be…
…Bringing Christmas cheer to your mobile for the second year running! We always like to look back at some of the cool games and apps we’ve done in the past but sometimes we get to refresh them and bring them out to a new audience too. Last Christmas we produced Festive Frenzy – a fun…
