Spoonful is an indie studio from Cologne. We make wholesome games with an opinion: an arcade game about the Bauhaus, a museum game about freedom, adventures about mental health and democracy. A small team, usually with several projects in production at once, shipping on Steam, mobile, in the browser and in exhibitions.

Who we are
“You see, in every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.” Mary Poppins
Designers, programmers and writers, most of us Cologne Game Lab graduates. This is us, pretending not to be terrified by the indie games market. We also build custom games and interactive experiences for partners: museums, universities, foundations. Treffpunkt Freiheit, Beyond the Chalkboard and Join the Comfortzone came out of that work.
Spoonful is one of the studios in Crunch, the ARD documentary about working in the games industry.
Supporters
Spoonful is a member of game, the German games industry association, and grew up in the Cologne Game Incubator. Our games are funded with the help of Film- und Medienstiftung NRW; the studio started on the Gründerstipendium NRW.
