About the game:
Criminal Minds, the mobile game is a direct spin-off of the successful CBS tv-series with the same name. Criminal Minds revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country’s most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again. The game has the same main  Behavioral Analysis Unit team as the series and shows 6 different exciting cases, as well as one chilling overarching story.

What I did:
I wrote the full story and script for this game, working together with the creative directors and with guidance from one of the tv series’ writers. Next to this I took over creative direction together with the lead game designer, when the original creative director stepped away from the project.
Due to the cerebral nature of the Criminal Minds profilers, we had to develop new gameplay elements that would do justice to their profiling work, but also be exciting and active enough for players to take part in. We also had to connect these gameplay elements to the general flow of each case, making sure the design would work well for the game but would also honor the traditional format of the tv series. 
The complete game consists of over 120 fully animated scenes.
