Business Unit Overview

Founded in 2017 by some of the leading talent in the mobile games industry, TT Odyssey is the Brighton based, mobile-focused arm of Traveller’s Tales, part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and the makers of best-selling LEGO titles including “LEGO Star Wars” and “LEGO Dimensions”. This is the first time that a LEGO Star Wars video game has been designed from the ground-up as a free to play, mobile title. Quality and innovation is extremely important in this endeavour. We aim to be at the top of the charts and are looking for people to whom that goal is important. We are well funded, independent in spirit and working with the best Intellectual Properties in the world. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?

Our culture and values place great emphasis upon open communication, autonomy and empowerment. We believe in encouraging people to be the best they can be and giving them the tools to achieve their goals. Our team is small, supportive and collaborative. We like everyone to be involved in the design process and value staff who can work independently. Our people are expected to organise their time and workload themselves so we can avoid excessive layers of management. This leads to a flat structure where everyone is respected and listened to.

TT offers successful candidates a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. Our work environment is inclusive, relaxed and friendly – one of the best things about working here is our fantastic people! We aim to support work-life balance, and some of the benefits we are most proud of include flexitime and other family-friendly benefits; discretionary bonus scheme; company pension scheme and life assurance. We also offer perks such as regular health and wellbeing activities, discounts on a wide range of company and partner products, free online training courses, complimentary fruit and a wide selection of drinks, social events and much more!

We expect high levels of ambition and innovation from our colleagues and an ability to flourish within the dynamic entertainment industry in which the company operates.

TT Odyssey wants our workforce to be more representative of all sections of society at all levels in the organisation.
