Job Description
Free Range Games grows games the old fashioned way: we donβt put our team in cages, we work distributedly, and we donβt use toxic work/life trade-offs. Some of our crafters have worked together from PS1 to PS5 and will tell you about carving games one triangle at a time from punch cards.
We are some of the folk behind Spider-man, Tony Hawk, Lord of the Rings, Twitch Sings, Oddworld, Callisto Protocol, Shrek Super Slam, and dozens of mobile and web games. We believe every member of the team has a voice in what the game should be.
We prioritize community, family, and love-of-gaming over process, crunching, and TPS reports. And maybe thatβs what you want too.

- Block out gameplay spaces for your Quest as needed and iterate on the layouts together with Level Designers.
- Showcase a passion for storytelling and creating engaging narratives within a game context.
- Adaptability to work in a dynamic team environment, taking on challenges and proposing creative solutions.
- Contribute to crafting quests that resonate with diverse player audiences.
- Collaborate with the team to infuse quests with surprise, intrigue, and engagement.
- Dive into the game's lore and narrative to create memorable story-driven quests.
- Collaborate with engineering and technical design teams to enhance tools for efficient content creation.
Requirements:
- Minimum 2-4 years of experience in quest design.
- Experience contributing to at least one shipped game title.
- Familiarity with Unreal Engine 4 and a willingness to learn and adapt to Unreal Engine 5.
- Basic understanding of Unreal Blueprints and Layout Tools.
