Our Story

Built by night-owls, for night-owls.

Lumen Arcade started as a Friday-night side project between three friends — a game designer, a musician and a lighting artist.

Today, Lumen is a small independent studio scattered across Lisbon, Osaka and Bogotá. We build colourful, play-for-fun games and host a global lounge where guests gather to chat, compete in friendly daily quests, and collect collectible charms.

What we believe

  • Games should feel like a night out, not a job.
  • Play-for-fun means no purchases, no payouts and no pressure.
  • Hosts are humans, and humans deserve good headsets.
  • Aesthetic is functional — neon makes the dopamine louder.

The crew

We're 14 people now, plus a roster of indie composers, illustrators and community hosts. We meet on Tuesdays, ship on Fridays and dance on Saturdays.
