Bot-based games platform Gamee hits 500 million plays, scores $2.2 million seed round

A mobile gaming company that delivers games via messenging bots just scored $2.2 million in seed round funding.

Gamee is mobile, and it’s games, but it’s not an app. Not primarily, at least. Rather, it’s a platform that delivers small, instantly playable games on Facebook Messenger, Kik, and Telegram, alongside its own app.

And, its CEO says, it’s getting Snapchat-level engagement levels.

“Native apps are great for rich gaming experiences; however, for casual and super-casual gaming, the barrier of installing is high,” CEO Bozena Rezab says. “We have designed Gamee so that people click and play and are in gameplay within 3 seconds, either if you play games from our main apps or in chat with friends from our chatbots.”
