Who we are:

At Joyride Games, we build mobile web3 game ecosystems. We've spent decades building games on the edges of possibility at companies like Disney, Popcap, and Electronic Arts. Our team has built some of the biggest games on Facebook, iOS, and Android, entertaining over 300 million people. These titles all earned enthusiastic and long-lived player communities that led to their commercial success.

Our combined track records have taught us how important (and hard) it is to build a successful game with a vibrant and sustainable community. With Joyride, our goal is to put market-leading infrastructure for web3 games into the hands of every game creator.

The Joyride team is proud to have already released two web3 titles (Solitaire Blitz and Trickshot Blitz) that became Top 10 blockchain games (according to DappRadar.com). The Joyride Wallet has over 5 million users and has supported apps with over 1M+ monthly active users. We’re experiencing strong momentum and looking for the most driven, kind, and skilled candidates.

Join us on this exciting journey as we build the next generation of community-owned games together!
