Goama will use the funding specifically to fast track our efforts in Latin America and ramp up our distribution channels and teams.

Argentinean Shark Leonardo Wehe, Shark Tank said :

“Closely following the gaming industry for many years, I realized instantly the quality of Goama’s development and the unique business approach to connect millions of engaged super app users with staple consumer products. This Industry is a crazy thing. The market they are in is so big and they are billing so much money and the companies are valuing them at such a high value.

RFOX Media seeks out Goama’s expertise in creating tournament games to build and provide a hyper casual game in order to use play-to-win as means to acquire more users to the new RFOX Media platform. 

On Sep 1, 2021

Manila, Philippines, September 1, 2021  — Southeast Asian based RFOX Media (a subsidiary of RedFOX Labs $RFOX) has partnered with Goama, to go after the huge untapped market in Myanmar and to address both Goama and RedFOX Media’s combined audience of more than 20 million South East Asians.

“We have been planning this for a long time and to finally bring it all together is a wonderful achievement for us and for RFOX Media.

A Game for Gamers by Gamers – Goama Powers Razer Cortex Instant Games

Razer launches with more than 100 games, including the all-exclusive Sneki Snek Adventure that features fan-favourite sustainability mascot, Sneki Snek. Gamers can compete in a range of tournaments for a chance to win Razer Silver.

USA 13 Aug 2021 – Razer, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, announced the launch of Cortex Instant Games Tournament, focused on instantly playable casual games, powered by Goama – a gamification platform and provider of a vast library of highly curated casual and hyper casual games and tournaments. 

Goama delivers an advanced gamified environment turning any app into a gamified powerhouse unleashing opportunities to engage users, increase new user acquisition and retain existing ones. Razer’s instant games are playable directly from the Razer Cortex app on Android, so players don’t have to do additional downloads. Each of the hosted tournaments offers tiered levels of Razer Silver prizes, which are redeemable for a variety of Razer hardware, accessories and digital rewards.

“We are proud to be working with Razer to create more ways for players to improve their gaming skills and be rewarded for their performance,” said Taro Araya, CEO of Goama.

Cortext Instant Games will host 4 to 6 tournaments concurrently, with 100 more games available for free-play access to a wide variety of genres. Each of the hosted tournaments offers tiered levels of Razer Silver prizes, which are redeemable for a variety of Razer hardware, accessories and digital rewards.

Additional casual games and tournaments will constantly be added and rotated onto the platform spurring competition among players. With Razer gamers dubbed as “hardcore gamers”, this partnership makes an interesting one to watch.

“Razor fans are hardcore gamers,” Sr. Director for Razer Mobile Software, Quyen Quach said. “But I really believe that gamers play differently on different screens. So you might be a really hardcore gamer on a console or PC, and then you’re waiting in line somewhere and you just want to pick up a quick challenge somewhere, and you will do that on your phone. With Razer Cortex Instant Games, we have an interesting intersection of casual gamers and core gamers. We really feel like hyper casual games are something that cuts across all those demographics. It’s so easy to pick up that everybody can understand it. And for the core gamer, it’s more about the competition. It’s about seeing where you are on the leaderboard.”

Released simultaneously with Cortex Instant Games Tournaments, Razer also launches the first ever Sneki Snek game that features Razer’s iconic, environmentally conscious mascot that will run charity tournaments – echoing Goama’s stance to Doing Good Through Gaming.

Sneki Snek Adventure challenges players to steer Sneki Snek away from poisonous obstacles and grab seeds to plant trees to score bonus points. With a real-time leaderboard pitting players against each other, players compete to conquer the top spot for a chance to win Razer Silver prizes. All proceeds generated from Sneki Snek Adventure will be donated directly to Conservation International as part of Razer’s continued commitment towards sustainable practices and reducing its global footprint. 

“A session might last a few seconds, or it might last 30 minutes, depending on how good you are,” Quach said. “And we’re seeing that, although most of the game session times are pretty short, we have about 20% of users that are somewhere from 15 minute to 30 minute game sessions. So they’re playing it over and over, and they want to move up the leaderboards.”

Razer is seeing a lot of people coming in through this system who are new to Razer so far, Quach said. It’s widening the funnel of players who could eventually stick around and spend more money on Razer products.

“This is their introduction to Razer,” she said. “The Razer ecosystem can mean cool gear for anybody, from having a pink headset to a Star Wars mouse or keyboard. Gaming’s demographic is changing before our eyes.”

Venture Studio, Ludus backs Singapore based gaming start-up Goama

Goama, a Singapore-based gaming platform, has announced that they have completed their latest investment round with the participation of Ludus, a leading venture studio located in Turkey. Goama will be using their new funding to pursue new partnership opportunities in various markets and expanding their team to support the scale of users from their newest partners.

Goama is a gaming platform that is built for businesses, combining the best of esports and the best of casual games to create a competitive casual gaming environment, where players compete on casual games, ranked on live leaderboards, to win real world prizes.

The team behind this start-up is aiming to solve the major challenges that advertisers and mobile app developers face every day with transforming any app into a gaming powerhouse – driving engagement, monetization and acquisition. The result is a compelling user experience to keep users engaged and in turn, increase transactions on other verticals within the app’s ecosystem as well as a social community built on the foundation of competitive gaming.

Wayne Kennedy, Goama’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer said “The platform was built from the ground up to support apps, and we can gamify an app within 2-4 weeks. With engagement and gamification at the core of our product design, we have been able to deliver a compelling proposition and effective solution to common problems faced by apps.

Ludus Venture Studio, which is a Turkey-based venture studio founded by gaming and ad-tech industry veterans, participated in the last investment round. With this new strategic alliance, Goama believes they can capitalize their industry knowledge and as their next phase they can realize the large monetization potential and opportunities of an already engaged user base with Ludus Venture Studio.

Taro Araya, Goama’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer stated that “Our long-term goal on achieving sustainable growth is built on the foundation of a healthy company culture and a team that executes with excellence, supported by extraordinary shareholders. With Ludus Venture Studio’s support, we’ve geared up our teams to deliver on our Sustainable Growth Strategy in 2021-2022, which will increase sales exponentially; doubling our addressable user base, which now stands at over 100 million monthly active users and doubling our resources to mobilize our initiatives ahead of schedule.”

Volkan Biçer, Partner at Ludus Venture Studio, commented that, “As Ludus, we are excited to be a part of Goama. There is a huge potential in the Super App market, as super apps act like the connector between businesses and users and have an immense effect on increased number of loyal consumers. We believe Goama will become a key player in this market and will bring a new solution to the major challenges that are on advertisers’ plate for a long time.”

Goama lets developers integrate a social gaming platform into their apps.

Young woman playing games on a smartphone

Goama (also known as Go Games) lets developers quickly integrate social games into their apps. Some of Goama’s clients have used it for promotional campaigns, while others rely on the platform, which introduces new games every week, to add a full-fledged gaming function to their app.

The startup, which recently took part in SOSV’s accelerator program, presented last week during CES at the Taiwan Tech Arena pavilion. The event is over, but Goama’s virtual booth is still up.

Some of Goama’s clients are “super apps,” or apps that offer several services and want to include games, too. To better serve super apps, Goama recently introduced a tournament model in addition to its subscription model for users.

The startup says that integrating Goama’s platform can help apps grow brand awareness when people share their results or invite other players tournaments. It also increases user engagement, with players typically spending more than 16 minutes per session playing games. So far, the platform has a combined total of 2.5 million unique users.

The company currently focuses on Asia and Latin America, where mobile penetration is growing quickly, and works with more than 15 partners, including GCash and Rappi, to enable digital payments and communications.
