Actually it’s an Aero Fighters console game in a stand-up wood cabinet. We’re discovering that all of the quarters dumped into this thing will easily cover the office Peapod tab AND defray healthcare costs. Who got next? $tep up!
Side note: Pat called a Galaga box next.
Last we checked Kyle was smoking everyone with over 1,000,000.
Meet our beloved founders.

It's a Colossal Squid Holiday Special.
January 9th, 2009
Welcome and choose your weapon. We celebrated the end of our first holiday together with food, grog, some light coding, and some heavy armaments. Check out some of the pics on Facebook. We had wads of wasabi the size of baked potatoes.
Next year - ballroom dancing, some light fencing (and perhaps Kumdo.) Count on it.

The new World Headquarters is an open lofted space. We decided to build up a conference table platform for meetings, gatherings, and similar. What Sheila built up for us is a petite indoor helicopter landing pad that doubles as a smokin’ stage for karaoke and spontaneous mime events.

Colossal Squid Industries is an independent digital creative agency. We help extend brands across fragmented digital channels. Interactive, social, branded games, augmented reality - we call it all digital adverstuff.
We’re neither a traditional ad agency nor a production company. We’re more of a technological secret society, a confederation of interactive craftspeople hell-bent on creating staggering online work for our clients.
We’re also a proud card carrying member of the Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA).
