Clark Stacey is the co-founder[1] and chief executive officer of WildWorks[2][3][4] (earlier known as Smart Bomb Interactive),[5] which in 2010 launched the National Geographic Animal Jam, a massively multiplayer online virtual world, in partnership with the National Geographic Society.[6][7][8] The game has around 75 million registered players,[9][10] and is one of the fastest-growing online children's properties worldwide, targeted at the 9–11 years age group.[11][12]

Early life and Education

Stacey was born and raised in Ogden, Utah.[5] He graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in English literature and philosophy.[13]

Career

In 1992, in consequence of his long-standing interest in the field, Stacey teamed up with Kris Johnson again and co-founded Smart Bomb Interactive, which specialized as a game development studio and earned revenues through a licensing model. During these years, video games exemplifying explosions and destruction became the leitmotifs of Stacey's video game productions.[5]

Stacey and Johnson subsequently rechristened the company as WildWorks.[3] Based out of Salt Lake City and employing around 130 video game developers as of 2016,[12] Stacey and Johnson went on to develop highly followed games like Animal Jam Classic, Snoopy Flying Ace, Tunnel Town, Fer.al, and others.[3] In August 2022, Wildworks was acquired by Nazara Technologies.[14]
