Company Description

SGN Games connects people around the world through great games.

Created in 2010 by former MySpace cofounders Chris DeWolfe and Aber Whitcomb along with former Fox executive Josh Yguado, its games have been downloaded more than 700 million times and are actively played every month by more than 45 million people, nearly half of whom live outside the United States.

SGN has grown by more than 1000 percent in the last three years, and the Los Angeles-based company owes its success to its 400-person team and the creative, colorful and engaging games they make.

Four of its signature puzzle-based titles, which include Cookie Jam, Panda Pop, Juice Jam, Genies & Gems and the Book of Life: Sugar Smash, are among the top 100 grossing games of all-time on Apple, Google and Amazon’s app stores. Its hit game, Cookie Jam, won Facebook’s “Game of the Year” Award in 2014.

TinyCo, a division of SGN, is the maker of two immersive mobile games based on globally recognizable Hollywood brands: Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff and Marvel Avengers Academy, which have been downloaded more than 100 million times since 2014.
