Meet the Team: Kristina Cheng

In celebration of our Valentine’s Day update for Mall Stars, we’re going behind the scenes to interview Mall Stars Product Manager, Kristina Cheng!

Update your Mall Stars game today in iTunes!

1. Can you briefly explain what you do here at PlayFirst?
As a Product Manager, I get to see how players interact with our games in order to figure out how to make them more fun and engaging!

2. What's the favorite part of your job?
Developing and releasing a game often requires the hard work of a whole lot of people, and what's cool about my role is that I basically get the opportunity to work with them all-- from design to engineering to marketing and much more, it's so interesting to be involved in each part of the process.

3. What hobbies/interests do you have outside of work?
Fortunately PlayFirst is located in San Francisco where there's so much to do-- on my free time, I like taking my bike out around Golden Gate Park, checking out museums and shows in the area, and playing video games, of course!

4. What type of games do you like to play?
For me, there's a time and place for all types of games. I like to pass time on the train ride to work with a tricky puzzle game, or I'll relax in the evening with something more cinematic and story-driven. Then there are times when I'm compelled to load up an action game where I can hack and slash/shoot/blow stuff up.

5. If you could design your dream game, what would it be?
It'd be an adventure with both stealth and action components. The story would be driven by mystery and criminal intrigue, starring Freddie Mercury (my cat, not the musician), with cameos from a few of my favorite things-- such as baked goods and Thor.

Thanks to Kristina for participating! Join us next week and meet another PlayFirst team member!
