TreasureHunt is an interactive entertainment company that develops mobile games for a mainstream audience. Its first title, Pet Paradise, is a bubble‑shooter pet collection game scheduled to launch on June 14th. The company was created in late 2014 and is based in Berlin, Germany. Leadership includes founders Kyle Smith, Ville Mikkola and Martin Kern and additional hires from Zynga, Rovio, King and Wooga. TreasureHunt raised a $6M Series A to date, bringing total funding to $8.4M. The company plans to use the new capital to promote Pet Paradise and to build out an additional game team. TreasureHunt develops casual mobile games and has launched its Bomberman-like title Boomie Blast globally on the App Store, optimized for recent iPhone and iPad devices. The studio uses a proprietary level editor to create its grid-based gameplay and emphasizes character design and world-building. The team of about 20 people includes talent from EA, King, Zynga, Rovio, Kabam, Codemasters, WETA Digital, and GoodGame Studios. TreasureHunt positions Boomie Blast as a mobile-first free-to-play brand that aims to bring high production values typical of premium console titles to mass-market casual games. Management says the company hopes to capture a niche in the large mobile games market and to build the game into a recognizable mobile brand. The company is in the midst of raising additional financing to support growth and operations.
