SuperDuperSecret Co. is a game development company focused on creating multiplayer, evergreen games with innovative twists on classic formats. Founded in early 2022 by CEO Jazzlyn O'Reilly and CTO Mark McCubbin, the San Francisco-based startup aims to build engaging and positive playspaces for a casual to midcore gaming audience. The team's collective experience includes work on well-known titles such as Shadow of the Beast, Dune II, and the NBA2K series.
The company's debut title is 'Royale Chess,' a 10-player, battle-royale version of the traditional game. In this format, 10 players compete in fast-paced, synchronous matches against all other opponents. To make the game more accessible to a broader audience, it includes an AI-assist feature. 'Royale Chess' is planned for release on PC and Mac, with mobile and console versions to follow. The business model incorporates optional Web3 elements, allowing players to engage without needing a crypto wallet or knowledge of NFTs.
In May 2023, SuperDuperSecret Co. announced it had raised over $1 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round. This milestone made co-founder and CEO Jazzlyn O'Reilly the first Latina founder in the gaming industry to secure over $1 million in venture capital funding. Key investors include Round 13 Digital Asset Fund, Merit Circle, Polygon Ventures, Solana Foundation, and Overwolf, among others.
