About Boss Level
We make story-driven games for kids 6 to 12 that grown-ups secretly (okay, openly) love too.
Alastra Vance
Alastra founded Boss Level Studios on one stubborn belief: a great kids' game should be just as fun for the grown-up on the couch beside them. Every world we build starts with a story, packs in real challenge, and ends with a high-five.
She's the one asking "what if the lion wore a suit?" in planning meetings, and then making sure the level design actually teaches you something. Her flagship? Blue Lion Means Business, the series where a big-hearted lion learns that the best deals are the ones where everybody wins.
“Building things that bring joy is the ultimate boss level.”Alastra Vance
What Boss Level Means
Story First, Fun Always
Games for ages 6 to 12 with characters you'll quote at dinner. Built so parents, siblings and grandparents can't resist grabbing a controller.
Grow Real Skills
"Boss Level" is about empowering kids: problem-solving, resilience when the level wins round one, and the curiosity to try just one more idea.
Privacy-First. Always.
COPPA-minded design from day one and zero ad trackers. Kids' play time is for playing, not profiling.
Where We're Headed
Worlds That Grow
Our game worlds are built to level up into an animated series, starting with Blu, the Big G and the whole Blue Lion crew.
Coding Workshops
Hands-on workshops where kids stop just playing games and start making them.
Tools for Young Creators
Friendly tools that teach kids, especially girls, to design and build their own games. The next great studio founder is probably 9 right now.
Our Greatest Inspiration: H & A
Everything we build at Boss Level Studios is inspired by two remarkable girls.
H, for her deeply empathetic nature. She feels things more deeply than most, and that's her superpower. She has a gentle, caring soul, always looking to make life better for others, and she's a seriously yummy cook. Her love is overflowing, and one day she'll see what we already know: she never has to chase people who don't recognize her beauty. The right people, the ones meant to be close to her, will be brought into her life by God.
A, for her passion, her fire and her energy, and yes, the occasional rage. Once she gets an idea, she grabs it like a bone and won't let go until she's chewed it all the way to the finish. That tenacity is in every game we make.
This one's for you two.
I love you both with all my heart. I’m sorry it took me so long to become the person I was always meant to be.
