THE [

SUCCESS

] STORY

"The dream was to create a unique crime-solving experience. One that would challenge and thrill like never before.

After two years and over 100 playtests later, I found myself on the French version of Dragons’ Den presenting our game-changing concept. The rest is history.

“Woodlock University” is now the most popular detective game in Europe and has quite simply reinvented the genre: a real dream come true."
