2020 - Happy New Year!

In celebrating the holiday season and crossing into a new year, we often take stock of our lives by contemplating elements that go beyond the bustle of the everyday and somehow come out ambitious as ever in accomplishing lofty goals. At FUN-GI, we're no different as our hustle hurtles forward and we target nothing short of greatness:

  • House Flip is now over 12 million downloads worldwide between both of Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store.
  • Players have left over 230,000 reviews on iOS and Android with an average rating of 4.5-stars in most countries.
  • The FUN-GI team is a dozen strong and we're one of the few video game companies that is close to a 50:50 gender ratio.
  • We continue to innovate by designing fun game mechanics that have an opportunity to scale to critical mass.
  • And, we've even carved out resources to prototype another game.

To be clear, we're 100% focused on House Flip today as we know that it's the product with an incredibly high ceiling, and we continue to be driven to build a brand that players will enjoy for years to come. In the same breath, it isn't easy thriving in one of the most competitive industries today. Despite this, I'm incredibly grateful for our investor support as these folks believe in our mission and give me the privilege of exercising flow everyday.  If I can share elements from a Hungarian psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, our state of 'flow' has clear goals, delivers immediate feedback, grows in complexity, minimizes self-consciousness, and distorts time.

If you're an investor in FUN-GI, I wish to thank you again for enabling our team to be in this optimal experiential state as I believe it's the path to becoming great. 2020 is going to be a big year and I won't let the distortion of time get in the way of sharing more updates. If you're not already following us on Facebook or Instagram, our handle is: 'HouseFlipTheGame'.  And if you have several minutes to spare, take a listen to a podcast I did last month with SADA, Google's Cloud Global Partner of the Year.

Looking forward to sharing much more over the next several months!
