Overview

Voodoo is a French mobile gaming and consumer applications company founded in 2013 that built its business on hyper-casual games, titles simple enough to understand in seconds and monetised almost entirely through advertising rather than purchases. As advertising costs rose it moved deliberately into hybrid-casual and subscription applications, acquiring the social network BeReal in 2024 and building a portfolio of utility and dating apps alongside the games. Headquartered in Paris and backed by Tencent and Goldman Sachs, it reports billions of downloads and is one of the largest mobile publishers in the world by install volume.

Products

User Acquisition Platform
The internal advertising technology used to test and scale new titles across networks. Being able to judge within days whether a game can be acquired profitably is the company's real operating advantage over rival publishers.
voodoo.io
Consumer Applications
Utility, dating and lifestyle apps monetised through subscriptions rather than advertising. Subscription revenue is far more predictable than advertising, which is precisely why the company diversified away from pure game publishing.
voodoo.io
BeReal
The social network acquired in 2024, built around unedited photos posted once a day. It gives the company a large owned audience rather than one rented from app store advertising auctions, which was the strategic point of buying it.
voodoo.io
Hybrid-Casual Games
Games that keep hyper-casual accessibility but add progression and in-app purchases. Higher revenue per player is what makes them viable when install costs are too high for pure advertising monetisation.
voodoo.io
Hyper-Casual Games
Very simple mobile titles monetised through advertising rather than in-app purchases. The model depends on buying installs cheaper than the advertising they generate, which is why rising acquisition costs forced the company to change direction.
