Funtactix was founded in
Israel in 2006 by Yaron Leifenberg and Ilan Graicer, backed by
Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) and
Benchmark Capital. Based on an internally developed engine, the company launched
Moondo, which enabled players to create and port their character
avatar across web-based, online 3D
multiplayer games. In 2009, the company switched to a
Flash and
HTML5 platform to create IP-based games. This included a partnership with
Paramount, to create licensed
social games for select IPs, such as
Rango: The World or
Mission: Impossible - The Game, based on the
Rango and
Mission: Impossible film franchises, respectively
. In partnership with
Lions Gate Entertainment, Funtactix announced
The Hunger Games Adventures in 2012 based on
The Hunger Games film series. The game was released on
Facebook (March 23, 2012),
iPad (September 2012), and
iPhone (February 7, 2013). By 2016, Funtactix was acquired by
Playtech and officially
rebranded as FTX Games. In July 2020, FTX Games was acquired by Tilting Point Media. == Games ==
