Crater Ink Studios

We design things you solve, fill in and play.

Crater Ink Studios is a small design studio. We make puzzle books, paper goods and mobile games, and we draw every page, grid and screen ourselves.

Puzzle and game books

Crossword, word search and activity books, laid out page by page so every grid is easy to read and good to solve.

Notepads and planners

Paper for lists, plans and everyday notes, designed to be used up and bought again.

Games for iPhone and iPad

Cozy games you can pick up for five minutes or settle into for an evening. Snugtrail, our jigsaw trail, is first.

One studio, three kinds of making

A book of puzzles, a planner and a phone game look like different businesses. To us they are the same job: make something people hold in their hands and come back to, and get every detail right.

Our first game is Snugtrail, a jigsaw puzzle game for iPhone and iPad.

We also publish Jar & Kettle, a from-scratch recipe app for iPhone.

We are based in Pennsylvania. For anything, write to hello@craterinkstudios.com.
