Meet the Team: Chris Gregan
It’s been a little while since we’ve had a ‘Meet the Team’ post and we thought the blog was well overdue for a few more. This week, we are happy to introduce Chris Gregan, PlayFirst’s Chief Architect working in Dublin, Ireland.
(Yes, we have an office in Ireland! Cool, right?)
1. Can you briefly describe your role here at PlayFirst?
My job title at PlayFirst is Chief Architect. The role involves a lot of research and development into new games technology. I work closely with the rest of the team to find new ways to improve the gameplay experience for our customers. I also manage a fantastic team of game developers based here in Dublin, Ireland.
2. What's your favorite part about your job?
Having the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the most talented people in the industry. It's also really cool to see the games we've worked so hard to create topping the charts!
3. Who is your favorite PlayFirst character?
The fire-breathing Bridezilla from Wedding Dash. I love my old Godzilla movies!
4. What's life like in Ireland? (compared to what you've heard/seen of the U.S)
I think we have a lot in common with the US. People are generally friendly and relaxed and there's a strong sense of community. It's a good place to live and raise a family. Like the US, we've had a tough few years with the economy but there's a growing feeling now that the country is getting back on it's feet.
5. What part of St. Patrick's Day is your favorite? (ie. Food, parade?)
Bringing the kids down to the local parade and meeting up with the family is always great fun. The organizers don't have any money to spend on fancy floats or marching bands but it's really just about meeting up and having a good time.

Thanks to Chris for letting us interview him last minute!
Hopefully we can introduce a few more of our Irish team in the coming weeks.

What an App-etizing looking cake!
Check this out! How cool is this awesome Hotel Dash cake?
A big, delicious thank you to our friends at Chartboost who had this chocolate and strawberry flavored cake made for us!
Once word got around the office that a cake was in the kitchen, well... the cake didn’t last very long, that’s for sure.
Thanks Chartboost! Also, if anyone feels like sending us baked goods, please do!
Seriously, please send us cake.

Lights, Camera, DASH! Meet the stars of the DASH games!
Flo is a spunky, sassy, no-nonsense small-town girl who packed up and moved to the big city to try and make her way in life. After an initial foray into the high flying business world, Flo rejected the boring, cubicle filled life before her and decided to make a sudden, spirited change! Taking matters into her own hands, Flo quit her job, rolled up her sleeves, donned an apron and opened up her very own greasy spoon restaurant. Strong-willed and practical, with an unflagging work ethic, Flo likes to bring order to chaos and see a job well done.
Unlike her good friend and roommate, Flo, Quinn is a vulnerable and romantic Southern belle. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, she first stumbled into the wedding business when her friend Amy roped her into planning her nuptials at the last minute. Today, Quinn is confident and successful, and has celebrities calling her to plan their weddings!
Cookie is a classically trained French chef whose cuisine of choice happens to be the Great American hamburger. Firmly believing that delicious doesn't have to mean fancy (or tidy), Cookie set out for America—home of the classic diner. It was there that he met Flo, and a great partnership was forged. He left Flo's Diner briefly to star on television, but has since returned. Together, Cookie and Flo consistently deliver the best burgers, meatloaf, and gravy DinerTown has to offer. While Cookie still sometimes misses France, his friendship with Flo and all the diner customers makes him feel very much at home in DinerTown.
Welcome!
