Company mission
To create immersive entertainment experiences that will engage and blow the senses.
Our take
The gaming industry is bigger than ever before, with new technologies pushing the boundaries of what we previously thought capable in gaming. Maze Theory sets out to be at the forefront of innovation with its virtual reality gaming.
A large part of Maze Theory’s appeal is its partnerships with globally-revered intellectual property, like Peaky Blinders and Doctor Who. As well as the strength of its technology, it allows fans of these world-famous shows a chance to participate in the worlds that they love. The games use AI technology to allow for game characters to respond to your movements authentically in realtime.
Its products have been well-received, and the development of its new Peaky Blinders game speaks to the success of its initial trilogy of Doctor Who offerings. The VR gaming space is still in its early days, but Maze Theory is gearing up to be a big player.
