Empowering Artists Through Technology

Spark Unlimited was built on a dream of empowering artists through technology while offering every employee the ability to experience the rewards and responsibilities of ownership.

Craig Allen, former SVP and GM of JIM HENSON INTERACTIVE, first began to explore potential business partners for a company that would eventually become Spark at the Los Angeles Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in May of 2002.

Los Angeles-based talent responded well to the idea of a new game developer and a potential team, lead by Scott Langteau as COO (a former producer for Electronic Arts on the critically and commercially successful MEDAL OF HONOR franchise) and Adrian Jones as CTO (also formally with Electronic Arts as a Senior Engineer working on many MEDAL OF HONOR titles) was discussed with potential publishers. Following an intense bidding war, ACTIVISION was selected to be Spark's exclusive partner for interactive media and a new game development group was born in early August 2002.

The group was housed temporarily in Santa Monica office space while waiting for a permanent home to be created to suit the group's unique needs by architect John Reed in Sherman Oaks, California. Spark relocated business operations to Sherman Oaks in March 2002.
