Time flies when you're having fun! It's been almost a week since the Big Viking Games team got together in downtown Toronto for our Summer Social. The goal was #TeamBuilding and fun mixed with food and some friendly competition - and let's just say that #gamers really do know how to game! 😎 Scavenger hunt, boat cruise and interactive remote game aside, it was another fantastic opportunity to connect with the team in-person as well as meet new members of the team who just joined. 🏆🛳🎮 🎉 Thank you to Humi for sharing their wonderful office space with us and Wavy for supporting our #remote activities. Psst.... we are #hiring and looking for new talent to join us! Could this be you? #BigVikingGames #Social #WeAreHiring #ComeWorkWithUs #Talent #DevOps #Engineers #UX #UI #Designers

Fun Fact: Did you know that today is National Video Games Day? 🎮 🕹 Well the #BigVikingGames team definitely knew and had a lot of thoughts and experiences to share in our internal slack channel! We even changed our #RemoteWork channel topic to: What's your favourite video game and why? (and yes - that channel was going off 🔥🔥 🔥) We'd love to know from you: What's your favourite game growing up? #NationalVideoGamesDay #Gaming #Hiring #ComeWorkWithUs #MakeFans Here are some comments from our team: "I used to play this with my cousin growing up, it's one of the reasons I wanted to get into game development!" "My childhood memories are full of playing games in the 80's. All throughout my life I've played different games at different times. Now I get to share that passion with my son and hopefully when he's older we can pick up some adventure games together!" "I have a separate resume just for this game I play - that's how much I play..." "My husband actually traded his PlayStation in for an Xbox just so we could play together since cross play didn't exist yet."
