Company mission
To create the first Social Gaming Network … that works.
Our take
Gaming can be an effective way for people to feel connected to others, helping ease social isolation and loneliness. Rocky Road is a new mobile gaming app looking to tap into this demand for genuine connections and are setting out to unite players around the world.
The founding team sets this company apart in the billion dollar gaming industry. With over 10 years experience, the team previously created QuizUp, a title that's attracted around 100 million users globally.
Operating in Stealth mode, the company has successfully attracted impressive funding and are now focused on building out their team. Considering the founding team's first-rate track record and the opportunity in the market, Rocky Road seem well set to make an impact in the space.
