"I downloaded an app recently called Dized.. And holy shit their game tutorials are amazing."
I cannot believe it's been a decade already!
We founded Playmore Games 10 years ago with a vision of bringing tabletop gaming to a whole new level. We started with publishing a game called Race to the North Pole and handling every step from design, playtesting, finalizing, manufacturing, shipping and distribution to marketing, sales, and customer support. The game did quite okay and in the end we printed just over 10k copies! More importantly, it gave us many valuable lessons about how the tabletop game industry works, and gave us opportunities to get out there and network with the industry.
And I must say I was not expecting an industry to be this welcoming, mentoring, guiding, helping, and inspiring! This easily applies to the vast majority of people I've encountered in our industry. We immediately felt like we were home! With the industry's help - both guidance and financial - we created the ultimate board game companion app DIZED!
We've always had quite a big vision of what our platform can grow to be, and it is now feeling like we are on that path! Our user amounts have been doubling every year, going for a million unique users this year! DIZED Tutorials are producing brilliant learning experiences and we have already helped hundreds of thousands of players getting into new games. Here's one touching feedback:
"I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude. Dized has changed gaming in my house forever. My wife and I struggle to communicate on the same wavelength especially when comes to directions for anything! Also, frustrating is I pick up games quickly which will make my wife feel dumb and upset when she does not. We tried your app for the first time last week for Apiary. - It was the best new game experience ever in our home. No frustration, No tears, No let's put it away and play something else! My wife picked it up so fast and completely crushed me like she usually does once she understands a game! she could not stop talking about how much she love Dized! Thank You for your great work!"
I also feel like expressing my gratitude. We've gotten this far is because of the amazing people who have gotten involved. The players who have supported our platform, industry operators who have trusted us with their contents, investors who have made creating this financially possible, the government of Finland supporting startups to go after global dreams, everyone who has mentored and inspired us forwards, the loved ones around us who somehow keep understanding our passion for tabletop games, and so many others. I must specifically thank our operative team and content creators: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Without you there would be no DIZED. I am humbled. I am grateful. And I'm excited!
Here's for the next decade and for the golden era of tabletop games! Playmore Games!!! 🥂 🎲
