Company

Our mission
Our objective is to create fun and unique virtual game worlds which are graphically impressive yet playable in a browser. We want to develop games that people across the planet can identify with and can play with their friends.
Bigpoint.com is a web 2.0 game portal with a community of more than 200 million players. The extreme flexibility of our browser games sets them apart due to the fact that they can be played wherever Internet is available. Tablet PCs and smartphones will soon make playing possible virtually anywhere. This is an important growth market in which the main stockholders of Bigpoint GmbH, TA Associates and Summit Partners, are investing.

Our business model
We are an online-game developer, content provider for media companies and publisher all in one. At Bigpoint.com, all of our online games can be played for free directly in your browser. By selling virtual items to players, we make it possible for them to advance quicker in the game. Thanks to our successful “Free to play – voluntary payment” business model, we are able to sell a wide range of virtual goods and additional features. These items and advantages can be used throughout the game to gain the upper hand on the competition but they are not necessary to succeed in the game. For example, players can buy new spaceships or more exotic animals for their zoos to further individualize their game experience.

Internationalization
Since Bigpoint was founded it has continually grown: Now with a portfolio of over 70 online games and ever-increasing sales figures, we aren’t just expanding nationally but also internationally. In addition to the main headquarters in Hamburg, we have offices in Berlin, Malta, San Francisco and São Paulo. Our online games are building communities across the globe.
