Interview: Paul Thelen of Big Fish Games
When I first met Paul Thelen (founder of Big Fish Games) four years
ago, it was on his office boat on Lake Union in Seattle with his
full-time staff of three. Since then, Big Fish Games has expanded
to 100+ employees, released one of the most popular casual game
series (Mystery Case Files) and grown its Web site into one of
the largest distributors of casual games on the Internet (they
must have gotten a bigger boat). We sat down to talk to
Paul Thelen to learn the secret of their success and the
future of casual games.
