About Us

icicle.pro was founded in 2020 by a team of puzzle enthusiasts, winter sports fans, and game developers who wanted to create an immersive icy adventure that combines strategic puzzle-solving with the beauty of frozen landscapes. Based in Juneau, Alaska—a city surrounded by glaciers and snow-capped mountains—our team of 10 is passionate about crafting games that capture the magic of winter, challenge the mind, and transport players to breathtaking cold-weather worlds. Our story began when our co-founders, Tyler Johnson and Priya Patel, met while working on a winter-themed mobile game. They dreamed of a game that went beyond simple winter aesthetics, creating deep, engaging puzzles that leveraged icy mechanics—sliding blocks of ice, melting frost to reveal paths, navigating slippery terrain—to create a unique gameplay experience. They left their jobs, assembled a team of like-minded creators, and set out to build icicle.pro as a platform for their vision. At icicle.pro, our flagship game, Frozen Paths: Icy Quest, plunges players into a magical frozen world where they must solve intricate puzzles to restore balance to a glacial realm threatened by a mysterious cold curse. The game’s core is its innovative ice-based mechanics: players use tools like ice picks, melting torches, and snowshoes to navigate levels, solve logic puzzles, and uncover hidden chambers. Each environment is meticulously designed to feel both beautiful and challenging—from vast glaciers with shifting ice floes to frozen caves with glowing crystal formations. We also weave a compelling narrative throughout the game, with NPCs (non-player characters) like frost sprites and Arctic explorers guiding players on their quest. What sets us apart? Our commitment to thematic depth. Every puzzle ties into the icy world—for example, players must use the physics of sliding ice to redirect water flows, or melt frost in a specific order to avoid triggering avalanches. We also prioritize accessibility, with adjustable difficulty settings (from "Casual Explorer" to "Master Glacier Navigator") and hint systems that guide without spoiling the puzzle. Our visuals are stunning, with dynamic weather effects (snowfall, Northern Lights) and detailed ice textures that make the world feel alive. Our team brings diverse expertise to the table. Our lead game designer, Sofia Garcia, specializes in creating physics-based puzzles that are both challenging and intuitive. Our art director, Marcus Reed, crafts breathtaking icy environments, drawing inspiration from real Alaskan glaciers and winter landscapes. Our writer, Lila Moon, develops a rich narrative with memorable characters and plot twists that keep players engaged. Our community manager, Zoe Thompson, fosters a dedicated community of puzzle lovers, hosting monthly "Ice Challenge" events where players compete to solve exclusive puzzles for in-game rewards. Since launching Frozen Paths in 2022, we’ve grown to over 180,000 users worldwide, with fans praising the game’s unique mechanics, stunning visuals, and engaging story. We’ve released two major expansions, adding new environments (e.g., frozen oceans, snow-covered villages) and puzzle types (e.g., ice maze navigation, crystal matching) based on player feedback. We’re proud that our game has attracted both casual puzzle fans and hardcore gamers—our difficulty curve is designed to be accessible to new players while offering depth for veterans. We value our community deeply. Every update is shaped by player input: for example, we added a "time trial" mode after users requested a competitive element, and we expanded the narrative with side quests focused on fan-favorite NPCs. Our forums and Discord server are spaces for players to share puzzle-solving tips, theorycraft solutions, and discuss the game’s lore. We also partner with winter sports brands to create in-game gear inspired by real cold-weather equipment, bridging digital and physical winter adventures. Looking to the future, we plan to expand Frozen Paths with a cooperative mode where players can team up to solve larger, more complex puzzles, a mobile app optimized for touch controls, and a virtual reality (VR) version that lets players step into the frozen world. We also aim to develop a sequel that explores new icy realms, including volcanic ice caves and polar deserts. Our goal is to become the leading name in icy puzzle-adventure games, known for our innovative mechanics, stunning visuals, and engaging storytelling. Whether you’re a puzzle lover, a winter enthusiast, or just someone looking for an immersive adventure, icicle.pro invites you to step into the Frozen Paths. Grab your ice pick, sharpen your mind, and embark on a quest through a world of ice and magic—great rewards await those who dare to explore.
