Our Values
Our Vision
At Valens Games, we don’t just make games, we make awesome immersive exercises for serious people. We believe that fun and learning are not by-products to games, but the fundamental building blocks of the ones people love to play.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services including premiere in-person or virtual games, custom designed games, off-the-shelf games, and our new AI-powered game designer.
Our Difference
When people think of professional games, they often think of hex-and-counter exercises or stodgy “serious games.” In contrast, Valens Games produces well-crafted worlds; realistic and entertaining media artifacts; well-designed characters who inhabit the game world; and concrete, vivid plot lines where all is not as it seems on the surface. They are comprehensive entertainment packages that produce unforgettable experiences.
