About
Why Warped HQ Exists.
We believe Africa's game development ecosystem deserves to be documented, understood and supported — and that institutions should actively participate in moving it forward.
What Warped HQ is
Warped HQ is an Africa-focused institution working across game development and interactive media. We document the ecosystem, connect its people and organisations, create platforms for conversations, and collaborate with studios and creators to support the development of new games and interactive experiences.
Our work spans research, media, creative experimentation and partnerships, contributing to a more visible, connected and sustainable African games industry.
