About Us
The Fancy Team
In March 2009 a group of guys met in an undisclosed location in downtown Kópavogur, Iceland. The purpose of the meeting: to discuss a crazy idea about founding a games studio. The vision was to create the ultimate geek friendly workplace and produce top quality games for the whole world to enjoy.
The idea, which seemed absurd at the time, soon began to grow on these founding fathers and a few months later Fancy Pants Global was born. Starting in a small office, almost a shoe box size, in downtown Hafnarfjörður, work quickly began on the first fancy projects. It soon became apparent that the shoe box was not big enough so Fancy Pants moved to the office next door, which had room for six workers,a couch and a fridge. But Fancy Pants Global continued to grow and in January 2011 the team moved again, coming back to where it all started, downtown Kópavogur. In Hamraborg 12, or Fancyplex as we call it, we have more than enough room to grow and continue on our quest to create awesome games and have a blast while doing so.
The best phrase to describe Fancy Pants Global is „a commune of creative minds.“ This is the place where all manner of talents come together to create something that‘s worth talking about.
Within the walls of Fancy HQ a wide range of talented people is gathered in front of keyboards and computers, hammering the keys until the break of dawn to create awesome games and cool applications. We stare at pixels until our eyes are sore. We find the simple solutions for complicated problems. We take great pride in the fact that we do things differently, our way. We are Fancy Pants Global, and proud of it!
