Cupcakes, a Candy bar, a slide and ball pit, UV painting, balloon making and monster dancing madness were just a few of the things at the Moshi Monsters 5th Birthday Party last week. The kids partied with us till 7.30pm and the big kids joined us from 8!
Toad Juice cocktails in hand, we all partied the night away to celebrate 5 years of success.
Huge thanks goes out to everyone who attended, and an even bigger thanks to the 80 million kids playing around the world. It’s been an exciting journey and there’s much more to come!

Mind Candy will be heading down to Silicon Milkroundabout at the Old Truman Brewery 11-12th May. We’re searching for top talent and would love to talk to super ambitious and creative people who are interested in becoming a part of our amazing team.
Our hero brand, Moshi Monsters has now reached over 80 million registered users around the globe and we are working on a lot of new games. Mobile is a big focus for us in 2013 and our awesome teams are developing various Moshi experiences on mobile as well as several brand new entertainment projects. Now we’re looking for smart, creative minds to spark them to life!
Saturday is focused on Product, and Sunday on Engineering, so we’re looking to talk to Product/Project Managers, Web Developers, UI/UX Designers, Business Intelligence Engineers, Mobile Developers, and QA Engineers throughout the weekend.
We’d also love to chat to anyone that thinks they could make a difference at Mind Candy! Swing by if you’re interested in learning more about us (we’ll be in the Mind Candy t-shirts eating jelly beans and giving out temporary tattoos!)
Looking forward to seeing lots of people! You can check out our open roles over at —> mindcandy.com/recruitment.
Five years ago we launched Moshi Monsters, so to celebrate the wild journey we’ve been on we’re throwing a party.
Like any good 5th birthday party there will cake, jelly, ice cream, slides, magicians, music, goodie bags and hopefully the odd tantrum.
It’s been an extraordinary journey, from the brink of bankruptcy in late 2008, to a global brand by 2012 that has generated a quarter of a billion dollars in retail sales.
First Moshi Sketch
A huge number of people have played a part in making Moshi Monsters a phenomenon and we’d like to thank them: parents, licensees, marketing partners, investors, journalists and the Mind Candy team, past and present. Some of the key unsung heroes of the adventure include Divinia Knowles, Steve Cleverley, Vincent Bechet, Darran Garnham, Ed Relf, Rebecca Newton, Toby Moore and Tom Teichman.
The team back in the early days
…And finally, a huge thanks also to our young fans around the world who love the weird and wonderful world of Moshi Monsters and have been inspired by the characters and stories.

After Mind Candy’s big move to our new home in Bonhill Street we had extra wallpaper left from our awesome Moshi mural in reception and the generous folk over at wallpaper company Ltd Limited very kindly offered to install it somewhere else for free!
So, we gave our friends over at Great Ormond Street Hospital a call to see if it might brighten up a corner of their activity centre to cheer the kids up and they jumped at the chance!
The shiny new mural has made a plain white wall look Moshi-tastic… and the kids love it!
Justine Trumper, Head of Account Management at Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity said: “The new Moshi mural is so fun and colourful and looks fantastic in the activity centre. It’s wonderful to see the children’s faces light up when they walk through the door! A huge thank you to everyone at Mind Candy and Ltd Limited for giving us this very special treat.”
