About Us
First: Jim and Emily at Lake Amatitlán. Second: Team lunch in 2014
Jim and Emily Greer started Kongregate 10 years ago with the vision of creating an open platform for indie games with a strong focus on community engagement. Since inception, Kongregate has always prioritized treating developer partners fairly and honestly. This means great games for our players and an engaged audience for our developers.
Now, a decade after its introduction, Kongregate is a leading mobile & PC game publisher and web gaming portal. Through our publishing program, we work closely with game developers to provide a multitude of services to help great games become even better. Kongregate’s 30+ mobile games have been downloaded over 100 million times and have hundreds of millions of gameplays. Kongregate's web portal features over 100,000 free games played by tens of millions of players per month. Through all of this change and growth, our goal is to maintain our values of integrity, collaboration, and most of all, fun!
Whether you’re a player or a developer (or both!) we have you covered.
