About Filament Games: Filament Games is a game production studio that exclusively creates learning games. Our core competency is producing games that combine best practices in commercial game development with key concepts from the learning sciences.

Our “dual literacy” allows us to engineer authentic gameplay mechanics (rules and interactions that directly correlate with specific learning objectives).
Benefits: Filament Games is an awesome place to work. Why?
Our team is a creative, interdisciplinary group of people who share a desire to make a difference. By making innovative educational games, we’re working to modernize education and revolutionize learning!
We believe that the best work - and the best life - comes from a healthy balance between work and play, discipline and fun. Our office culture reflects this. For example, we have flexible work hours, LAN nights, grill-outs, sketch nights, Show-n-Tells, ropes course outings and the occasional Nerf battle.
Our stylish, fun and relaxed office is conveniently located on the near-east side of Madison, a lively city with a world-class university, vibrant tech industry and beautiful state capitol. The near-east side is a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood near Lake Monona that offers affordable housing, eclectic restaurants, music venues and retail stores—all within walking distance of our office. Even better, we’re only two miles from the heart of downtown and the university.
