Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Sam, the brain behind and sole developer of Chronos.
What started as a passion project to build the ideal game night has since become a "third job", under the name Focal Creative.
Alongside a steady full-time job and recent fatherhood (which is a 24/7 management role in itself) I work on this platform in every spare minute.
Who would do that? Me, apparently.
My mission is simple. Chronos must be the very best and most fun quiz platform there is. No corporate nonsense or hidden agendas, just a product of pure passion for the game and a love for legendary game nights.
When you play Chronos, you directly support an independent maker. Thanks for being part of this adventure!

Chronos runs on these projects — and many smaller ones. If they help you too, consider giving back.
…and the countless maintainers behind every dependency. Thank you.
