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.
