Our Work

Games People Love

We build digital experiences that players keep coming back to. Our debut title launched to an established and growing player base — and we're just getting started. Every product we ship is designed to be fun, rewarding, and built to last.

Why Bellota

Why people choose to build here.

Work With the Best

Every person here is someone you'd want to learn from. Industry veterans who've shipped titles you've played.

Games People Actually Play

No prototypes that collect dust. Everything we build launches to real players with real engagement metrics.

Veterans, Not Bureaucrats

Founded by people who shipped hits at major studios and left because they wanted less process, not more.

About Us

Small Team.
Big Ambitions.

We started Bellota Labs because we believe the best games come from tight-knit teams with real ownership.

We started Bellota Labs because we believed the best products come from small teams that move fast and care deeply. Within our first year, we partnered with a world-class brand and began building — and we haven't slowed down since. The team is growing quickly, and every new person raises the bar.

We're a hybrid team based in Redwood City, coming together in the office twice a week to collaborate, playtest, and push ideas forward. The rest of the time, we stay connected and keep shipping. It's the balance that lets us do our best work.

Our Values

What we stand for.

Passion

We make games because we love games. That energy shows up in everything we build — in the playtests, the heated design debates, and the pride we take in every feature we ship.

Critical Thinking

We question assumptions, dig into the data, and make decisions that hold up under scrutiny. "Because we've always done it that way" isn't a reason here.

Ownership

Everyone here owns their craft. We trust people to take responsibility for their area and make good calls. If you see a problem, you fix it. If you have a vision, you pitch it. The best ideas win.

Candor

We give honest feedback because we trust each other to handle it. No politics, no sugarcoating. The best ideas win regardless of who they come from.

Life at Bellota

What it's actually like here.

"I work with a lot of people who could work just about anywhere. It's cool to see so many domain experts under one roof."
— Spencer, Product Manager

The Office

Where we
get together.

We're a hybrid team based in downtown Redwood City — surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and bars, with the Caltrain right around the corner.

Office days mean game nights, pickleball, and frequent catered meals. Everyone gets a premium desk setup with the gear they need. We wanted an office people actually look forward to — and that's what we built.

Careers
