Game development studios, indie game developers and gaming schools graduates are invited to join the physical hub for a full training program about hyper-casual mobile games.

We are looking to provide the right training, funding and opportunities to aspiring studios, recently graduated students and youngsters. The team at Street Lamp Games is excited to take the next step in this journey with CrazyLabs.”

Much like CrazyHubs around the world, the new hub in Hyderabad will offer hub members a fun and inspiring work environment, a dedicated office space, professional training in the field of hyper-casual as well as hands-on guidance from senior executives, and mentorship sessions from industry experts. All graduates will receive a completion certificate - The CrazyHubs Diploma.
