Over the past year we've been partnered with Scholastic to create a web-based AR adventure for their book series "The Last Resort."
If you’d like to see how it works, they put together a short video showing the experience in action!
Our CEO Ryan, will be hosting a roundtable at Game Developers Conference this year, focused on balancing work for hire with building original titles as a studio.

We had a great time at our monthly game night giving the Board a try!
We had a great time with it! We learned the Petricrew has what it takes to run a kitchen together, battled each other for territory with blocks, and played a bunch of classic arcade games.
Awesome to see Gamesbeat covering the MIT Reality Hack, and thanks for the shout out!
It was great sponsoring the new Gaming Track this year alongside Preview Labs who organized it.

Capped it all off with a team dinner at Bocado Tapas in Worcester, an awesome night with an even better group of people!

Happy Thanksgiving from Petricore! 🦃🥧🍂
We wanted to share our gratitude for all our players, clients, partners, and platforms that have lifted our work up.
We’re especially thankful for our incredibly talented team who makes everything we do possible!
Excited to share that Timeless Tunes from The New Forevers is now live!
We served as the prime software developer on this music memory game designed for older players to relive the songs of their youth while keeping their minds sharp.
We really enjoyed helping bring this product to life!
Exciting news! 🎉 Capsule Critters, our relaxing puzzle-matching game, is part of the AndroidXR launch lineup on the new Samsung Galaxy XR headset!
You can grab it now on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petricore.capsulecritters.androidxr
Update: The skeleton in our office has become a valued member of the team, learning how to code.
Unfortunately, his work so far mostly consists of chilling prophecies about our deaths.
But on the bright side… free intern!
Our stuffed mascot game in the office is starting to shape up pretty nicely! 🧸
We love our Peridot, Turnip Boy, and Meta Llama - but our Beagle and Peter, our giant caterpillar, will always have a special place in our hearts.
Who do we need to add next?
It’s getting awfully spooky in the Petricore office… 🎃👻
We even had a visit from our skeleton friend from Mythic Realms! The weird part? No one actually knows where he came from. Sometimes he just… gets up and walks around muttering Latin backwards. Probably fine though.
Happy Halloween! 💀🕸️
