【TECOPARK】Releasing the Wildly Popular Cooperative Party Game, PICO PARK! Striving to Create More Hit Titles! What Kind of Company is TECOPARK?

Unique ideas that surprise players are essential in the world of gaming. Amidst this, there is a game company that operates under the motto: “Delivering quirky and fun experiences.” That company is TECOPARK Inc. The company name combines “TECO” (meaning quirky people) and “PARK” (a place for diverse experiences), embodying their passion for creating innovative games. In this article, we delve into the appeal of TECOPARK!

The CEO of TECOPARK is Shunsuke Miyake. Born in 1986 in Okayama Prefecture. After graduating from university, he built his career at SEGA before becoming independent in 2021. To stay true to his own game development style, he founded TECOPARK.

Notably, the game PICO PARK, which he developed almost single-handedly, became a worldwide hit. Despite being an indie project, this game surpassed one million sales, captivating players with its “simple yet addictive” game design.

In modern gaming, it's common for players to play while looking at their own device screens. However, Miyake wanted to bring back the joy of gathering around a single screen to play together.

This vision led to the creation of PICO PARK. The game is characterized by rules that require essential teamwork and a gameplay experience that is simple yet profound. Designed for friends and family to enjoy together, this game perfectly embodies TECOPARK’s philosophy of being “a place for quirky and fun experiences.”

Interestingly, the game was initially titled PICOLECITTA during development. However, after receiving feedback that the name might be hard to remember, it was changed to the simpler PICO PARK. As a result, the name became widely recognized and loved worldwide.

This kind of flexible thinking is also one of TECOPARK’s strengths. They not only focus on “how to make a game fun” but also deeply consider “how to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible.”

Following the success of PICO PARK, TECOPARK is taking on new challenges. They are currently working on projects with partner companies to create new experiences beyond the realm of traditional gaming.

What kind of unique and fun games will TECOPARK create next? The excitement for their future developments is endless!

TECOPARK's games are not just for playing—they connect people and create memorable experiences. Under the concept of “quirky and fun,” TECOPARK continues to develop games that are simple yet profound.

From this small “playground,” they will continue to bring excitement to the world!
