Knock Knock is a San Francisco–based developer of games and technologies built around HTML5, fast load, social play and messaging platforms for a post‑App Store world. Founded in 2018 and led by Andrew Friday, the company has focused on Facebook Instant Games and other messaging-platform formats. It has launched two titles on Facebook Instant Games that together have received over 5 million organic and viral installs. A third title is scheduled to launch on multiple platforms this year, including WeChat Mini‑Games and Facebook Instant Games. The company plans to use new funding to grow its instant games portfolio, expand title availability to new platforms (including WeChat in China), and hire development and user-acquisition roles in San Francisco and Toronto. Knock Knock builds chat-native play experiences that leverage messaging platforms to create new ways for friends to connect and play. The company focuses on implementing group dynamics into proven game concepts so titles require no installation. Key gameplay elements are being designed around bots, enabling interactions such as sending heroes on quests via bot messages without opening a separate app. Knock Knock plans to launch its first game on Facebook Messenger later in 2018 and follow with WeChat in early 2019. The company raised $2M in seed funding to build its chat gaming network and combine chat-native play with engaging IP. It was founded by Andrew Friday (formerly a senior product manager for Zynga's Chat Games team) and Andrew N. Green (formerly head of business operations at TinyCo).
