Scopely, the number one mobile gaming company in the United States, has achieved remarkable success with its diverse portfolio of games. With over 500 million Americans playing their titles, such as "Monopoly Go!," "Stumble Guys," "Yahtzee With Buddies," and "Star Trek Fleet Command," Scopely's secret sauce lies in its unique approach to game development and its ability to tap into the massive market of licensed titles.

According to Scopely's chief revenue officer, Tim O'Brien, the company's privately owned environment and global distribution network have been key factors in its success. "We can come here with our creative talents, get tons of resources, and reach a global audience," O'Brien explained. This freedom allows Scopely to capitalize on market opportunities and take risks that other companies may not be able to take.

One of Scopely's most significant successes is the launch of "Monopoly Go!" in April 2023, which became the largest mobile game launch in history. O'Brien credits Scopely's ability to evolve its relationships with partners, such as Hasbro, as a key factor in its success. "Hasbro is a great example of an early partner," O'Brien said. "We licensed 'Yahtzee' in 2015 and it was a tremendous success. It made more money than they'd ever made on the board game in the first year of its existence."

Despite the turmoil in the gaming industry, O'Brien remains optimistic about the future of the business. "Games are here to stay," he emphasized. "People continue to underestimate the size and scale and the amount of time spent in games." O'Brien believes that Scopely is in a unique and great place right now, and he's excited about the future of the company.
