Trapdoor Inc. was a Canadian video game developer based in Montreal. Founded in August 2008 by Ken Schachter, the company developed Warp and co-published Polytron Corporation's Fez, both in 2012. A third title, Heist, was cancelled mid-development. Trapdoor dissolved in December 2012.

History

Trapdoor was established in August 2008 by Ken Schachter, formerly chief technology officer for American Apparel and later studio manager of Gameloft Montreal.[1] By October that year, the company also employed former game designer at Gameloft Montreal and Ubisoft Montreal, Alex Charbonneau, as lead game designer.[1] Trapdoor stated that they would strictly follow the International Game Developers Association's developer crediting standard in their upcoming games.[1] Their first game would be an original intellectual property for personal computers, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[1] By May 2011, Trapdoor employed 15 people, with Schachter managing the studio.[2]

In November 2010, it was announced that Trapdoor had signed a publishing agreement with Electronic Arts for their game, which was announced to be Warp.[3] Warp was first released for Xbox 360 in February 2012, and Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 3 the following March.[4] Trapdoor announced in March 2011 that they would co-publish the Polytron Corporation-developed game Fez.[5] Fez was released in April 2012 for Xbox 360.[6] A third title, codenamed Heist, entered production in early 2012, but was cancelled six months into development.[7]

Trapdoor was quietly disestablished on 16 December 2012.[7]
