Technology That Elevates,
Never Dominates

We create games where technology adds genuine value to the experience. Never as a gimmick, always as a seamless enhancement of what makes board games magical.

A Proven Legacy of Innovation

Our founder Marcus is the inventor of HITSTER, the internationally acclaimed music card game that became the best-selling game in Europe in 2024 and has won multiple awards worldwide. HITSTER perfectly embodies our vision: a classic card game concept elevated by app-powered music streaming, where technology transforms the experience without overshadowing the joy of playing together.

This philosophy drives everything we do. We constantly invent and explore new ideas that blend the warmth of analog play with the possibilities of digital innovation. Every concept we pursue must pass one test: does the technology make the game genuinely better?

We also believe the best ideas can come from anywhere. If you're a designer with a brilliant concept that bridges the analog and digital worlds, we want to hear from you. And if your game isn't the right fit for us, we'll tap into our network to help connect you with the publisher who is. Helping great games find the right home is part of who we are.
