We spent Friday lunchtime at RGS Newcastle at their Careers Fair!

and Rachel Pattinson were on the Enigma Interactive stand, talking about our work as a digital development agency.

We had lots of interesting chats with the students about digital careers, our work at Enigma - and the old server we brought along!

We love going to events like this and meeting young people considering careers in technology. Thanks for inviting us!

We’ve made the shortlist! 🎉

Enigma Interactive and National Grid Electricity Distribution have been shortlisted for Tech Collaboration of the Year at the 2026 Prolific North Tech Awards for our work together to transform how millions of customers access information, report power cuts and understand what is happening when they need support most.

It’s fantastic to see the project recognised alongside such a brilliant group of businesses and collaborations from across the North’s tech sector. Now we’ll be keeping everything crossed for the awards in Manchester in October! 🤞

"Smart, compassionate people who always want to do their best work for you."

When our clients give us feedback about our work, we're always grateful. But when they talk about our team at Enigma Interactive, it means even more.

We're incredibly proud of the work we delivered with Northumbria University and Newcastle Hospitals, creating a patient information resource that supports patients, families and healthcare professionals with clear, accessible information.

A huge thank you to Jamie Steane for The Drum recommendation and trust in our team.

One of Enigma Interactive's talented designers, Izzy, is taking on the Great North Run this weekend. 🏃‍♀️

She's running in memory of her grandma and raising money for the Stroke Association, helping support stroke survivors and their families.

We're all cheering her on - plus all our various friends and family members who are running. Good luck, Izzy! 💙

Great Run

It's back to school season! 📚

As students, teachers and education folks start a new academic year, we wanted to celebrate our work with organisations that are making a difference in the sector (with this illustration starring our seagull mascots, obviously).

Whether it's helping showcase children's creativity, supporting progression into higher education, or creating digital experiences that encourage new ways of thinking and inform research, every Enigma Interactive project starts with understanding who we’re designing it for.

We're proud of the partnerships we've built with organisations including My Child’s Art, and The Open University, and we've seen first-hand how digital can help make learning experiences more engaging and accessible.

Happy September to everyone in education. 2026/27 academic year, here we go…

We made 1,000 origami cranes for Children’s Cancer North! 💛

Over the summer, team Enigma Interactive folded 1,000 origami cranes to support Children's Cancer North and mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month as part of the Paint The Toon Gold campaign.

Inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, the cranes represent hope, healing and peace. Together they've become a shimmering installation now on display at One Strawberry Lane throughout September. (And we painted the windows, too!).

This project is part of our support for Children's Cancer North, our 2026 charity of the year, helping raise awareness of the challenges faced by children and families affected by cancer across the North East and Cumbria. Find out more at: https://www.enigma-interactive.co.uk/news/1000-origami-cranes-for-childrens-cancer-north

If you're in Newcastle, drop in and take a look. You can also pick up a 3D printed golden crane to take home or join us to learn to make your own crane on Wednesday 9th September, from 1 – 2pm in our free origami workshop!

"A very productive and creatively rewarding experience."

Working with The Open University on an interactive exploring the public's relationship with democracy and everyday extremism is exactly our kind of project at Enigma Interactive: challenging, collaborative and creating something that can make a genuine impact.

We loved working on this project, and we love getting feedback like this! Thank you to Anthony English and Kesi Mahendran for reviewing us so positively on The Drum.

Our August Tech Talk at Enigma Interactive took us to other dimensions, though a (mostly) linear history of putting things on screens 🖥️

This month's Tech Talk, delivered by Lewis Lane, took us on a journey through the history of computer graphics and gaming technology, from early text terminals to the new tools powering today's films and games.

We started with teletypes and early control codes, many of which still influence programming today, before exploring the subculture, creative constraints (and opportunities!) of text art, where people used text characters to create impressive images.

Lew then charted the evolution of digital graphics, from vector-based games such as Star Wars, through the clever world of 2.5D graphics. He even demoed a prototype game he'd built himself, showing how 2D calculations can create convincing 3D effects.

Some of the milestones along the way included:

🏍️ Tron (1982), the first film to make extensive use of computer animation, even though many scenes were still hand-painted. And not eligible for an Academy Award, due to its extensive use of this new technology…

💥 Doom (1993), whose popularity saw it installed on more PCs than Windows at one point, bringing 2.5D gaming to the masses.

🎮 Quake (1996), which introduced technology that still underpins modern game engines today.

🚀 Unreal (1998) and the rise of Epic Games Store Unreal Engine, alongside the growing importance of dedicated graphics hardware. What began as technology for gaming is now used across mainstream film and animation productions, from Love Death + Robots to Oscar-winning War is Over! (2023).

💡 We also touched on the moment NVIDIA popularised the term GPU in 1999, helping define a technology that has become central not only to gaming but to modern computing and AI.

The talk sparked a discussion about the technologies our team have worked with and grown up with, the innovations that changed entire industries, and where the next chapter of visual computing might head.

Thanks, Lew, for an entertaining look back at how we put stuff on screens.

Have you been feeling the heat this week? When temperatures rise, digital services need to be ready too. 🌡️

We’ve been working with National Grid UK to develop a new digital response to prolonged hot weather – helping millions of customers quickly access clear, practical information when demand is high.

Including a new always-on Hot Weather Advice section and a dedicated ‘hot weather mode’ that can be activated across the website, the approach is designed to respond dynamically as conditions change.

It builds on the contingency planning we’ve developed with the National Grid team for major weather events – creating a resilient digital estate that can adapt whether the challenge is a winter storm or a summer heatwave.
