GAMES

Narrative-led games for global and growing IP

Blazing Griffin Games is a BAFTA-winning studio crafting engaging experiences across PC, console, mobile, and XR. Specialising in mystery, detective, and story-first games, our team partners with global IP holders and emerging creators to build original worlds and adapt iconic ones — with credits including Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, and Batman: Caped Crusader – Chronicles.  

We specialise in mystery, detective and adventure narratives, building original worlds and adapting iconic IP with great care and attention to detail. Whether we’re developing something new or working with well-known characters, deep research and respect for source material is at the heart of everything we make.

As part of a studio that spans games, film, and post-production, we see storytelling across its full landscape. That cross-media perspective shapes how we approach every project, understanding not just the game, but the wider world the IP lives in and the audiences it can reach.

Our team are gamers, storytellers, and problem-solvers who know what makes a great game because they’ve played them all their lives.

Our Work

From iconic detective fiction to original IP, every game we make is built around story, character, and player experience. Here's a selection of the work we're proud to have made.

Story Is Everything

Great games start with great stories. Strong stories are at the heart of everything we make, they shape our design decisions, our character work, and the worlds we build. We’ve spent years developing the craft and tools to do it exceptionally well.

Our proprietary BG Narrative Toolkit streamlines the complex architecture of branching narratives: puzzles, character interactions, and dynamic story structures, giving us the flexibility to build rich, immersive experiences efficiently.

Studio Heads

Our Games team is led by Neil and Justin — a seasoned games veteran and a business strategist who between them have built the studio into what it is today.
