Our story
2015
Reality Games was founded in 2015 with the aim of creating an immersive gaming experience for its users. The company was established at Google Campus London in the Oxygen Accelerator, a program that helps startups to grow and expand. Since then, Reality Games has grown to become one of the leading companies in the gaming industry, creating exciting and captivating games that challenge and engage users.
2016
In 2016, we launched Landlord Tycoon, and it was an instant success. It quickly rose to become one of the top 100 games in the world, garnering over 15 million organic downloads in the process. It showed no signs of slowing down and remained one of the top 100 games for two straight years. Landlord Tycoon offered a fun, unique and challenging experience that appealed to a wide variety of players from all around the world. Our strategic marketing efforts helped us reach millions of players and gain their trust.
2017
In 2017, we launched Donut Trumpet, and it quickly became one of the top strategy games in the United States. Donut Trumpet Tycoon is the perfect blend of the real world and the gaming world. It is a location-based game that allows you to buy venues you visit and then collect rent from people who check in at those properties in real time! There is no limit to the number of places you can buy in Donut Trumpet Tycoon, so your Trumpet Games reality can be as big as the world itself.
2018
In 2018, Weather Challenge was launched, the world’s first weather app with a play button. The game allows users to take on the role of a weather person, making predictions and earning points for correct forecasts. The innovative concept of the game has impressed many and even won two awards; the best idea on the Start-Up Weekend and the Audience Prize for the most innovative gameplay concept for a mobile game. Weather Challenge has a fully featured weather app with accurate location-based data from over 300,000 global weather stations, making it the ideal game to challenge your friends and family and compete with national TV weather presenters.
2019
Big Dots is an ambitious project that seeks to create a robust and comprehensive database of points of interest (POIs) from around the world. This database will be used to power the development of cutting-edge augmented reality (AR), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) games and applications. Going beyond the traditional POI data, the Big Dots database will also have additional attributes such as the height of the object, its location, its categorization, and photos taken from specific perspectives. Additionally, the Big Dots database will include data on the location of the locality and its demographics. All of this data will be available to developers to create more immersive, interactive and engaging AR, 2D and 3D experiences.
2020
We have launched Landlord Tycoon Successor – Landlord Go! This new game has the potential to have the largest playing field possible, as we have tapped into NASA’s resources and divided the entire world into 10 billion unique plots. By combining our property data set with NASA’s satellite scans, we have been able to create a highly realistic and data-driven property dealing game. Our game has been featured in over 100 countries.
We have received overwhelming amount of press coverage – 1349 press articles, 14 radio interviews and 5 live TV coverages! This is a massive accomplishment for the company, and reflects the hard work and dedication of all its employees. It’s a testament to the success of the brand and its products, and all the efforts that have gone into making it what it is today.
2021
It was an incredible year for us – a transformation year from organic growth to paid growth. We put a tremendous amount of effort into Analytics and KPI to measure every aspect of our business and become a truly data driven company. With amazing results, we are now able to make better decisions based on data and insights and build better products. We have seen significant improvements in our key metrics like customer retention and conversion rates, and have seen a boost in our overall growth and revenue. We have also been able to build a powerful data-driven culture that drives the entire organization to make data-driven decisions and develop better products.
2022
In 2022, our game studio achieved remarkable success. We released over 2 million new properties in Landlord Tycoon, offering diverse content for players to enjoy. Live Ops events, like the Halloween Event, added excitement with activities, rewards, and challenges. Landlord GO surpassed 5 million users, showcasing its popularity among mobile gamers. We improved the visuals and interface in both games for a better gaming experience. Additionally, we started developing a new game based on a globally recognized brand, expanding our reach and attracting a wider audience. Overall, 2022 was a year of growth, innovation, and expansion for our studio, setting the stage for continued success in the future
2023
We are thrilled to announce that we have moved to the new office – The Old Railway Station in Krakow. We are planning to open a startup Town hall with an event space for 500 people, coffee and lunch bar, coworking and the world-first offline incubator program. Our program aims to create a complete 360° immersive approach to empower promising gaming projects from the idea stage to go-to-market. We are committed to look for talents and unique projects to help them reach their full potential. We are incredibly excited about this new venture and look forward to the opportunities it will bring.

Nearest Goals
China Expansion
We are making a determined effort to penetrate the Chinese gaming market. We are planning to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to acquire an ISBN license in the first or second quarter of 2024 for our famous IP geolocation game. This will enable us to operate in the Chinese gaming market, giving us access to a huge potential customer base. We are confident that our game will be successful in the Chinese market and will be able to generate huge profits.
New game with famous ip to be soft launched
For the past 7 years, our team has been working on property trading geolocation games, and have been perfecting the concept. We have all the necessary technology and advanced resources to scale up our operations. We recently acquired the IP rights for one of the most famous board games and are now going to launch it in geolocation and AR modes. We are confident that this launch will be successful, and aim at generating 10B in revenue in the next 5 years. We plan to have a soft launch in the IV quarter of 2023, followed by a global launch in late October 2024. We are sure that our launch will be a success and will help us meet our targets.
Getting ready for AR Glasses
We have been developing AABB-based occlusion detection methods in three-dimensional space for some years now. This method allows us to get a user’s position and direction in 3D space, with the help of sensors such as GPS, accelerometer, and compass. By using this occlusion algorithm, we can perform various geometric tests to determine if certain points of interests (POIs) can appear in the observer’s field of view. With the new hardware such as AR glasses being announced by major players, the opportunities for us to join the new marketplace are boundless. We are eagerly awaiting for the release of these new products and can’t wait to see what new possibilities are in store for us.

Strategy
Bootstrapping and focus on profits to scale big and not fail
At Oxygen Accelerator, we had our first investors, and in just 14 months from startup demo day we managed to generate enough sales to buy out our investors and generate for them a 12x return on their investment.
This is a great example of how focusing on profits can pay off in the long run. Since that time, we have been able to sustain ourselves through our profits and have been able to reinvest in the business to create more value.
The mobile gaming industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years, and core aspects such as growth and product development are an integral part of any successful business in this sector. Scaling is much faster in the mobile gaming industry than in any other industry, allowing businesses to accelerate growth campaigns in mere hours.
This is closely linked to Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) as businesses must focus on creating effective campaigns that generate the highest possible return on the advertising spend.
Our teams have a strong understanding of the market, competitors and the needs of our players.
Additionally, we have an effective strategy for optimizing campaigns to ensure that advertising spend is maximized and the best possible ROAS is achieved.
Work life balance = Work life ecosystem
We understand the importance of work life balance for our employees and are making concerted efforts to address several points such as personal development, career development, socializing, overtime and wealth creation. The new office is designed to provide our employees with the opportunity to spend more time in the office with the assurance that their efforts are more meaningful.
Big idea in small team
It requires breaking down the idea into smaller ideas and then executing on the best portion first. This allows us to focus on the most important parts of the venture first, while the other parts can be worked on later. This also gives us an opportunity to experiment with different approaches, allowing for more creative and innovative solutions.
Once the best portion of the idea is executed, then the company divisions can move on to the other parts, merging them together. This helps to create an overall cohesive plan for the business, while still allowing for experimentation and exploration of new ideas.
Doing this in an organized and systematic way allows us to have a clear roadmap of where we are going, as well as a better understanding of the potential risks and rewards associated with the venture.
Skills and values
Skills are the building blocks of any employee, allowing them to take on the challenges that come with the job. They allow us to solve problems, handle difficult situations, and think strategically. In addition to the common skills such as communication, problem solving, and decision making, we also need to develop a wide variety of other ones. These include passion, resilience, perseverance, and courage. These are the skills that enable us to handle difficult situations, remain calm in the face of adversity, and never give up even when the odds are against us.
It is also important to keep our core values. These include being resourceful, accountable, and careful. These values allow us to make the best decisions for ourselves and the company. They also help us to stay enthusiastic, passionate, and relentless in the advancement of the company. These values are essential to any successful career, and developing them is essential to our growth as professionals.
