About the Company
Brands and advertisers turn to us when they need to create the superior word, card and casual games or reach the millions of people that play those games. Publishers turn to us when they want to drive engagement, loyalty and additional revenue by adding a fully managed gaming portal to their web properties. We’re privately held (aka stable and reasonable about growth), founder-led (aka passionate about our craft) and we consistently rank as a “Best Place to Work” (aka not your typical games company).
