Who we are

Play that feels local, because it is.

We build games around what Kenyans already love: Saturday EPL fixtures, FKF Premier League rivalries, quick-fire trivia and short, competitive mobile challenges that fit into a matatu ride.

Every product is designed for the way people here actually play: low-data web, simple USSD menus for feature phones, and instant M-Pesa or airtime rewards.

We don't just make games people play. We make games people come back to, every matchday.
