Mind Candy

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 5^th 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!

Check out all our photos from the party over on our Facebook page!

Mind Candy will be heading down to Silicon Milkroundabout at the Old Truman Brewery 11-12^th 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.

Last week the Mind Candies were at GDC in San Francisco. We’re on a major recruitment drive and had a fantastic turnout at our candy covered booth!

Loads of people swung by to say hi and chat to us about working at Mind Candy! If you were one of those people, or are interested in jobs with us check out – www.mindcandy.com/jobs

In accordance to Mind Candy’s “work hard, play hard” rule, we worked the show floor during the day and the party circuit by night. It was a fantastic show and we look forward to cracking through the enormous pile of applications!

The Australian Toy Fair marked the end of the 2013 Moshi Toy Fair season – since the start of the year our Monsters have visited Hong Kong, London, Nuremberg via New York ending in Melbourne.

This trip brought together the key decision makers in the Australian entertainment and toy industry. The Moshi team hosted their 2nd Annual Party with a keynote presentation, Poppet, Katsuma some Glumps and a DJ which all added to the Moshi fun and games! We also attend the official Gala Toy Awards night to celebrate with the market winners.

Among the many meetings included a trip to Bulla Dairy Foods, the producer of more than 8,000,000 Moshi dairy and frozen products. Millions of children have enjoyed the healthy eating products in school bags over the past 12 months.

This market continues to see strong growth 3 years after we first launched with some amazing initiatives in 2013. Watch out for some cool new products in toy, publishing, food and live events allowing children to meet their heroes.

Many thanks to ALL our fans on the other side of the world!
