wooga develops games for Facebook.

The company was founded in January 2009 and is based in Berlin. In summer/autumn 2009 it received $7.5m VC funding from Balderton Capital and HV Holtzbrinck Ventures. In 2011 wooga raised $24 in a Series B Round led by Highland Capital Partners.

wooga has released 5 games so far (Brain Buddies, Bubble Island, Monster World, Happy Hospital, Diamond Dash) and is number three among Facebook game developers by number of active users - and the biggest one based in Europe.

wooga’s ambition is to create the best social games and it has a strong focus on localization. This has made it particularly strong in Western European markets.
