Hello, I’m Hugh. I graduated from WWU in 2019 where I studied economics and film. In 2017 Adam and I worked together with some friends to develop a board game together that was successfully funded on Kickstarter. After that, I wanted to find a way to channel my love of game design into a business, and Cryptid Escapes is the result of that wish.
