A Thinking Ape

Develops social mobile games and communities

About

A Thinking Ape develops social mobile games that encourage player interaction and community building. Their games, such as "Witch Arcana: Magic School" and "Kingdoms of Heckfire," are designed to be engaging and foster vibrant online communities. Players can download these games for free and make in-game purchases for items and upgrades, which is part of their freemium business model. This approach allows A Thinking Ape to attract a large audience while generating revenue through microtransactions and advertisements. Unlike many competitors, A Thinking Ape emphasizes social interaction in its games, which helps retain players and attract new ones through word-of-mouth. The company's goal is to continuously innovate and create games that enhance player engagement and community involvement.
