Hojo Studio was formed in 2013 by Rick Salter and Jola Szymanska, two designers from Sydney, Australia. Over time, we were joined by Stephanie Salter (executive producer) and Shoshana Lewis (community manager) to form a mighty team of four.

A Hojo project typically begins with imagining the funniest idea we can, then pushing it as far and as seriously as possible. Charm, style and satire are at the core of everything we do.

We believe in something called the "Hojo Smile" - an expression our players get on their face while they play our games - there's a disarming, uniquely Australian sense of humour we like to think our games bring to the world - and that’s reflected in our audience.

We don’t make games to be rich or famous, we make them because chasing that Hojo Smile is the most delightful creative challenge on earth. And we’re still chasing it!
