History

Frederik Breien and Jan Haugland developed a working relationship with the Bergen Science Centre VilVite, combining creativity, game design, software development to deliver interactive exhibitions to teach children about science and technology.
Breien, on short notice, stepped in to give a talk at a conference, replacing an airport-stuck key speaker, and delivered a lecture on games and game design. Attending was Dave Spilde, a founder of several businesses who was there to give his own talk. An avid gamer, he dreamed about starting a game studio. Upon hearing the talk, he decided he would want to talk to Breien.
Turbo Tape Games was founded and incorporated in February 2008.
