About The Team<\/h1>\n

We’re a small team of coders and promoters that formerly worked together at UberMedia: an Idealab company that focuses on mobile advertising and applications. In June 2013, the three of us decided to join together and create GameMix. We’re still at Idealab, but now we’re focusing on our true passion \u2013 developing a new type of gaming experience using HTML5 technology. Frustrated with the traditional app store experience of unsuccessful searches and annoying downloads, we began building a platform that makes it possible for you to play the games you want, when you want to play them. No app stores. No downloads. Just instant gaming tailored to your interests. It’s like Pandora for games.<\/p>\n
