From our home in central Copenhagen, more than 60 wonderful humans are united by a simple mission: to make everyone laugh.\nWHAT THE CAR? is our absurdly silly racing adventure game which addresses fundamental questions such as… What if a car had legs? Or a jetpack? Or secretly identified as a sailboat? First launched in 2023 on Apple Arcade and now also on Steam, it has gained a steady following of dedicated fans who have contributed hundreds of thousands of community-built levels.\nWe’re looking for a Game Director to grab the creative wheel (sorry) on a small but mighty team to help steer CAR into the future.
