MetaArcade was a Seattle, Washington area-based independent game production company founded in 2016 by David Reid, focused on interactive fiction adventures for mobile platforms.

They produced Adventure Creator, a platform which allows users to easily create interactive fiction adventures for mobile devices.[1]

In 2016, MetaArcade released Tunnels & Trolls Adventures based on the Tunnels & Trolls tabletop role-playing game.[2] The game won the MMORPG.com "Best Mobile MMO or RPG" award at PAX West 2016.[3]

In 2018, MetaArcade released the Cthulhu Chronicles, a campaign of several interactive adventures based on Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game).[4]

In late 2019, MetaArcade sold the Tunnels & Trolls Adventures and Adventure Creator assets to Trollhalla Press Unlimited, a print and digital publishing company owned by Ken St. Andre, but the sale was not widely announced until early 2020.[5][6][7] MetaArcade sold the Cthulhu Chronicles assets to Chaosium.[8][9]

In 2020, MetaArcade shut their doors.[citation needed]
