GameAfrik — African Mobile Video Game Studio

Independent studio developing mobile games rooted in African culture (folktales, mythology, sport) for local and international markets. Games are free with ad monetization and in-app purchases accessible via mobile money.

Problem

The Problem

There are virtually no mobile video games featuring African culture, while Africa is the world's fastest-growing mobile market.

Opportunity

The Opportunity

500 million smartphones in Africa by 2025; mobile games are the top non-voice use case and African in-app advertising grows 30%/year.

The Concept

Studio of 5 developers creating short, addictive games (puzzle, endless runner, cultural quiz) with African characters, available on Play Store and App Store.

The "Secret Sauce" (USP)

  • 100% African characters and universe: strong differentiation
  • In-app purchases via mobile money (Wave, Orange): no bank card needed
  • Ad monetization targeting local brands

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

To get started quickly:

1 simple game (endless runner with African character) developed in 60 days, launched on Android targeting 10,000 downloads.
