Hello, we're Big Happy Games

A tiny studio with a simple goal: make games that leave you a little happier than they found you.

The Wizard from Solitaire Squad
Our story

Big fun from a small team

Big Happy Games is an independent studio founded by Michael Paterson. We started with a love of the games you reach for again and again — the quiet, comforting ones that fit into the cracks of a busy day.

We thought the classics deserved a little more color, a little more character, and a lot more heart. So we built Solitaire Squad: familiar to anyone who's ever shuffled a deck, but brighter, friendlier, and full of surprises.

What we believe

Our little rules

😊

Joy first

If a feature doesn't make the game more fun or more welcoming, it doesn't make the cut.

🤝

Respect your time

No nagging, no pressure. Ads are optional and the core game plays fully offline.

🔒

Respect your data

No accounts, no sign-ups. We collect as little as possible and never sell your personal information.

Sweat the details

Hand-drawn characters, smooth animations, and cards that fit any screen. The small stuff is the point.
