BebopBee is a mobile games developer focused on creating free-to-play, casual puzzle games. The company was founded in 2014 by Rajeev Nagpal (CEO), Cristian Zanier, and Anton Vikharev, who are veterans of prominent mobile gaming companies like TinyCo, Zynga, and Jam City. The team's background includes deep expertise in the art and science of free-to-play mobile gaming.
The company's flagship product is 'Travel Crush', a match-3 puzzle adventure game that was previously known as 'What a Wonderful World'. This game allows players to virtually explore different global locations, with new destinations and activities introduced monthly. 'Travel Crush' is designed as a "forever franchise" and integrates social features to build a community, such as team chat with real-time translation to connect its international player base.
BebopBee operates on a free-to-play business model, generating revenue through in-app purchases of virtual items. The company has raised a total of $13M in funding, with a notable $4 million round in May 2023 led by investors including BITKRAFT Ventures, Courtside Ventures, and Andover. This capital is being used to grow the player base, reinvest in the 'Travel Crush' product, and expand its data science and creative marketing teams.
