MissionStory
In 2008, Gripwire was born in a converted garage, over a few beers, in Seattle. We used a ping pong table as both our desks and for brainstorming. We wanted to get a foosball table, but there just wasn't enough room. So, thanks to our interns from Digipen, we made due with Soul Calibur on PS2. In early 2010, after one of the interns turned into a full-time employee and because large clients were demanding to visit our office, we decided to pull the trigger and opened an office in Seattle's Belltown, downtown. We finally were able to get that foosball table and upgrade to a PS3. Since we've grown quite a bit and love to be mysterious, see if you can put the name to the hints listed below...
