Company mission
To pioneer a new wave in Mobile Entertainment by creating simple, yet thrilling games that capture the attention of players simultaneously at a set time.
Our take
Live Tech Games is a studio looking to pioneer a new phase in mobile gaming. Like current popular mobile games, its offerings are short, simple, and free-to-play. Its edge, however, is that it has also developed mass participation technology to deliver live, player-versus-player games - with cash prizes at stake.
The company’s current focus is twofold. Firstly, offering nationwide tournaments for simple games like word puzzles - which Live Tech Games is launching in the US. Secondly, create live tournament games to complement a TV show’s IP.
This latter prong is an astute business move. Dwindling TV audiences are having a severe impact on broadcaster funding models, which often rely heavily on advertisers. So many are casting around for new ways of stimulating engagement - without having to compete with streaming giants.
Live Tech Games may have struck gold, in this regard. It piloted the concept on ITV’s flagship daytime show This Morning, generating huge amounts of buzz and subsequently landing the company ITV as a strategic investor. So whilst the company has yet to build out, its first strides are hugely promising - and answer a growing broadcaster demand that could prove highly lucrative.
