From Childhood Curiosity to Global Games: Cameron Scott’s Isle of Man Story

Cameron Scott didn’t set out to build a global games business, but a childhood fascination with how games were made has led to billions of plays on Roblox. Although his work reaches a worldwide audience, the Isle of Man has always been where he feels most at home.

Born in Mauritius, Cameron moved to the Island as a toddler when his parents relocated for work. What was meant to be a short stay quickly became permanent as his parents were looking for a safe place to raise a family. Like most, they fell in love with the Island and decided to stay.

Growing up on the Isle of Man, Cameron developed a love for maths, problem-solving and technology. Although computer science wasn’t available to study at school, he spent his free time teaching himself how to code, driven by a growing curiosity about how games were made.

That curiosity began at an early age. Cameron was introduced to his first experience of ‘tycoon’-style games at five years old, but little did he know, it would end up shaping his future career.

A few years later, a friend introduced him to Roblox. A platform where users can create and play games made by people all over the world. Cameron quickly became hooked. He spent evenings after school experimenting with game design, learning to code and building projects for his friends to play. At 15, he released his first successful game, ‘Clone Tycoon’, a game where you build an army of clones and battle other players, marking the first time he earned money from game development, proving that his hobby had real potential.

While studying A-levels at Ballakermeen High School, Cameron continued to build games in his spare time, which is when he first launched ‘Restaurant Tycoon’. Players could start with a small restaurant and gradually build it into a five-star dining experience. The game quickly became a huge success on Roblox.

Cameron went on to study at university, where he continued to develop his skills in coding and game design. Following his first year, he secured a three-month internship with Roblox Corporation in California, travelling and living independently at just 19 years old. During this time, he released Restaurant Tycoon 2, building on his earlier success. With greater experience, he refined the original concept, and the game went on to become the most popular title he has released.

After graduating during the Covid-19 pandemic, Cameron found himself working remotely, which only reinforced where he wanted to be. Whilst many of his friends left the Island to attend University and pursue a career, the Isle of Man continued to feel like home for Cameron. With his family nearby and the natural environment he truly values on his doorstep, it was the ideal place to establish his new business, and enjoy the quality of life he’d grown to love.

In 2025, Cameron decided to return to the Island full-time to grow and develop Ultraw Games Ltd. Following the set up of day to day operations at the Launchpad co-working space in the Island’s capital, Douglas, he released Restaurant Tycoon 3 during the summer of 2025. At the time of writing, Cameron’s games have achieved a combined 3.2 billion visits worldwide and are still growing.

Running his business from the Isle of Man has given Cameron what he describes as “the best work-life balance in the world”. He structures his days to stay healthy, focused and motivated, whether that’s working from home, heading to the gym or spending time outdoors. He’s also passionate about basketball and is part of the Island’s training squad, working towards representing the Isle of Man at the 2027 Island Games.

“Living here gives me many opportunities that I simply wouldn’t have elsewhere, not just in business, but in sport and life in general.”

Looking ahead, Cameron plans to continue growing Ultraw Games from the Isle of Man, releasing new titles and expanding his team. “I’m so glad I can run a global business from here, everything I need to thrive and grow, is here in the Isle of Man.”

For entrepreneurs considering a move, his advice is simple: “Don’t let the word ‘island’ put you off. People assume it’s disconnected or quiet, but it’s quite the opposite. It’s innovative, welcoming and full of like-minded people.”

Asked to sum up the Isle of Man in three words, Cameron doesn’t hesitate:

Community, Beauty and Home.

Whilst I could move and run my business from anywhere in the world, nowhere will ever feel more like home than here.
