Runaway

Our Community Manager Libby and Nature Researcher Jonas went out filming today to the Dunedin Botanic Gardens for some TOP SECRET content. They couldn’t resist stopping and feeding the ducks - what a beautiful day for it! ☀️🦆

Meet some of our forest friends! 💖

🐭 Lulu is a shy mouse, who likes to keep to herself. She enjoys her own company and can entertain herself for hours.

🐰 Lucas comes from a wealthy family. He loves to play video games, skateboard, and will sometimes brag about all the cool things he has.

🐷 Jacintha loves nothing more than curling up inside, reading a book or studying something cool she found exploring outside. Others can find her quite eccentric and abrasive - they struggle to keep up with her enthusiasm.

Yesterday we hosted a group of Year 10 students from St Hilda’s Collegiate School for ShadowTech Day 2024! ShadowTech is an annual event that offers girls in year 9-11 an opportunity to discover the world of tech, spark their curiosity, and explore career pathways. They got to spend the day hearing from different roles at Runaway and our pathways into the industry. They also got to participate in a QA and Narrative exercise to get a taste of what they involve!

Meet our entry into Frog Recruitment's 2024 competition, Boo!

Boo is an older gentleman who works alongside his owner, Jess, at our company Runaway Play. He spends his in-office days napping, providing pat breaks for his game dev co-workers, and generally just bringing up the vibes with his adorable presence! ❤️

We believe that Boo is the perfect entry for the 2024 NZ Top Office Dog Award as he not only boosts morale, but he also supports us in our many work activities! He’s participated in beach cleans, Sweat with Pride, launch parties, live streams, and many more. We couldn’t ask for a better furry friend in the Runaway office! 🐶🌏
