Lance Priebe, Co-Founder of Club Penguin, founding story, exiting to Disney, & app + board games!

Lance has been instrumental in shaping our world of games today! From helping to lay the foundation for what multiplayer online connected games look like with the creation of Club Penguin, a hub for people to communicate and connect online as penguins, to building hit app store games like AdVenture Capitalist, Lance has not been shy with trying new ideas! I enjoyed playing Club Penguin growing up and it became a social network experience for young individuals that was far ahead of its time. The platform faced many challenges of scale, before today's cloud era, but Lance and the team were able to handle a lot and proved what is possible in online gaming with new IP. He shares how the idea for Club Penguin came about, what made it go viral, and how Disney become the company to acquire it. He also touches on the mechanics of what lead to a success there and also has enabled him to have great interest in board games as well as mobile apps from his game company Hyper Hippo!
