All About Popcap Games

Overview

PopCap Games is the premier developer of fun, easy-to-learn, captivating games that appeal to everyone from age 6 to 106. No two games are alike, and any of them can be played by a novice, yet still provide enthralling fun 200 hours later.

PopCap started from humble origins: no money, in a home attic, and no real prospects. But our founders also had a pioneering spirit, innovative (sometimes crazy) ideas, and an unquenchable passion for making games that were fun.

In six years, the company has parlayed that nerve and verve into a leadership role in a multi-billion-dollar industry that we also practically defined. And we're still at it today: applying the unique PopCap approach to create fresh, new gaming experiences; expanding into new markets, distribution methods and sales models; and developing games that consistently win awards and the hearts of consumers of all ages.

Millions flock to play PopCap's games online at sites like PopCap.com, Yahoo.com, RealArcade.com, MSN.com and AOL.com; to download them for use on their home and work computers; and to snap them up at retail stores like Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart.

Millions more have fun on the run playing PopCap titles like Chuzzle™, Bejeweled®2 and Zuma™ on cell phones, PDAs, iPod and BlackBerry devices, Pocket PCs and in-flight entertainment systems on leading airlines. Even "hardcore" gamers - once glued to first-person shooters and role-playing titles - are using their Xbox video game systems for casual game play with Zuma, Feeding Frenzy™, Heavy Weapon™ and other PopCap titles.

And these are only a few of the places where you'll find PopCap Games helping people chill out, wind down, pass time and engage with each other in play.
