Blue Wizard Digital

Canadian video game developer

Blue Wizard Digital is a Canadian video game development studio and game publisher founded in 2014 by Jason Kapalka, one of the founders of PopCap Games and an early pioneer in the mobile casual gaming space. It is based in the Comox Valley, British Columbia, and is the only video game studio currently headquartered in Comox, as The Long Dark studio Hinterland is now based in Vancouver.

The studio specializes in campy horror puzzle games, humorous first-person shooters and other innovative variations on existing models of gaming.

02Controversies

Shell Shockers is commonly played by school students on Chromebooks, which are provided by schools for educational purposes. In an effort to circumvent this, Blue Wizard buys alternative domains (such as "geometry.best") to attempt to circumvent this. They also have multiple websites that only load games when on Chromebooks (such as "historicreview.com") to continue to make their game available at school.
