The first online games website was launched in 2004, in the Dutch market. At this time, the target audience was mostly teenager girls. In 2007 Spill Group acquired a majority share in the Chinese game development company zLong and began producing games. In 2007, portals were also expanded to the US and UK. The 2008 acquisition of the MMO (massive multiplayer online) site/community, onrpg.com, moved the company into the MMORPG segment. In July 2008, Spill group changed the company name and rebranded to Spil Games. In total, Spil Games expanded its segmented and localized approach with more than 50 websites where people can play games online in 20 languages. In May 2014 the company announced that it will let go of a substantial portion of its work force – 90 out of 240 full-time positions – as a result of a move from website to mobile and tablet games.[3] In September 2014, the company reorganised, closing its Dutch development studio and concentrating on mobile game publishing.[4] TurnaroundIn February 2015, a new CEO was appointed. Tung Nguyen-Khac had been CEO of the gaming division of the German television company ProSiebenSat1. Venturebeat said of the move: "With the mobile-gaming industry growing to $25 billion in 2014, it's not surprising that a company like Spil would look for new leadership to help get a bigger piece of that action."[5] On 16, August, 2016 Spil Games announced it achieved 100 million downloads in the last 12 months. PocketGamer said of the announcement that Spil “had originally hoped to reach this milestone by the end of 2016, and has now revised its goal up to 150 million for the end of the year"[6] By February 2017, the company had achieved 200 million mobile downloads.[7] This grew to 250 million by July 2017.[8] The company announced it hit 300 million installs in March 2018 with the growth being 95% organic. VentureBeat stated this is, “a testament to the company’s method of testing titles on the web and then reposting the most popular titles as mobile apps.[9] On 24 May, 2018 it was announced Spil’s COO Timm Geyer had been named the company’s new CEO. As reported by PocketGamer.biz[10] his focus will be building on Spil’s strategy of bringing its most successful web IPs to mobile. New gamesIn the first part of 2016, the company announced and launched several game brands. In February 2016, it purchased the rights to the classic game Creatures[11] In April 2016, Atari founder Nolan Bushnell announced that he would be working with Spil to develop several new mobile games.[12] In May 2016, Spil Games acquired the browser game portal Mousebreaker.[13] Europacorp, Luc Besson’s film studio, selected Spil Games to create the official mobile game for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the director’s upcoming $180M sci-fi movie.[14] The company revealed the first details about the game in May 2017.[15] Facebook chose[16] Spil Games as a launch partner for Instant Games on 29 November. Spil's Endless Lake is one of 17 games to be featured in Instant Games where players can play games directly on Messenger or their Facebook News Feed. Three weeks later Facebook named Endless Lake as on its Games of the Year.[17] Spil Games launched its second Instant Games, Tomb Runner, in April 2017.[18] In May 2017, Spil Games launched Operate Now: Hospital a hospital simulation game for iOS and Android.[19] The game exceeded 10 million installs in 6 months.[20] Spil Games published Mahjong Crimes in November 2017; a new game bringing together Mahjong solitaire and the murder mystery Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.[21] AudienceIn mobile, the company started from nowhere and had 50 million installs in 2015.[22] By February 2017, the company had achieved 200 million mobile downloads.[23] In March 2018 the company hit 300 million installs. [24] Installs are driven by games like the Troll Face Quest series, which has racked up 100 million installs, Uphill Rush, which has garnered 25 million downloads, and Operate Now: Hospital, which has 15 million.[25] Its games are also beginning to reach significant social and messenger audiences on Instant Games from Facebook. Endless Lake has reached close to 40 million unique users to date since launching in November 2016.[26] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.spilgames.com|title=Home|website=Spil Games|access-date=2016-06-16}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.spilgames.com|title=Home|website=Spil Games|access-date=2016-06-16}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.entertainmentbusiness.nl/nieuws/2014-W36/spil-games-rond-reorganisatie-af-sluit-interne-studio|title=Spil Games rond reorganisatie af en sluit interne studio {{!}} Nieuws {{!}} Entertainment Business|website=www.entertainmentbusiness.nl|access-date=2016-06-16}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.entertainmentbusiness.nl/nieuws/2014-W36/spil-games-rond-reorganisatie-af-sluit-interne-studio%5D|title=Nieuws week september 1 2014 (36) {{!}} Entertainment Business|website=www.entertainmentbusiness.nl|access-date=2016-06-16}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2015/02/19/spil-games-gets-new-mobile-savvy-ceo-to-oversee-social-gaming-transition-from-facebook/|title=Spil Games gets new mobile-savvy CEO to oversee social-gaming transition from Facebook|website=VentureBeat|access-date=2016-06-16}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/63751/spil-games-mobile-reboot-pays-off/|title=PocketGamer.biz|last=Cowley|first=Ric|date=August 16, 2016|work=|access-date=|via=}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.pocketgamer.biz/interview/64973/franz-stradal-on-how-to-get-a-job-as-a-vp-of-content/|title=Jobs in Games: Spil Games' Franz Stradal on how to get a job as a VP of Content|work=pocketgamer.biz|access-date=2017-06-07}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.ramascreen.com/valerian-city-of-alpha-is-now-available-for-free-on-ios-and-android-watch-the-new-trailer/|title=VALERIAN: CITY OF ALPHA Is Now Available For Free on iOS and Android!
