Jan Bührig
Senior Project Manager, Game Producer & Author
Jan Bührig is a Senior Project Manager and Game Producer at kr3m. media GmbH. His passion for games began in childhood with his first steps on a DOS PC and the NES, and has stayed with him ever since, shaping both his academic path and his career outside the games industry.
With a PhD in Information Systems and a degree in Economics, Jan combines solid business expertise with a strong love for the written word. Before joining the games industry, he spent over 13 years at a provider of university software, most recently as deputy director. During that time, he began diving into game development and games content as a side project. His enthusiasm grew so much that, a little over two years ago, he took the logical next step and turned his passion into his profession at kr3m.
Today, as a Game Producer and author, he focuses especially on titles like Sudoku and Mahjong, where he is actively involved in development. He also managed the rollout of American-style crossword formats as project manager. For Jan, writing is a craft: like a well-run project or a precise game mechanic, it relies on clarity, structure, and user focus. His goal is to make complex backgrounds easy to understand and to highlight the strategic brilliance behind modern game ecosystems.
Thanks to his experience as a lecturer at a university of applied sciences for economics and management, he knows how to present knowledge in a targeted, accessible way. His texts are designed to remove entry barriers and give players real added value through clear instructions and hands-on tips.
