Very simple Flash games made the site "explode in popularity." That's how Miniclip started at the turn of the century, a journey that has led it to set up 20 studios in 12 countries, reaching players worldwide. In Portugal, the facilities at Taguspark, in Oeiras, were inaugurated in 2022, and more than 300 people work there.
It was still 2001 when Miniclip created its first games, simple challenges created in Flash, an application based on user-friendly vector graphics. The games were made available on the web, on what would become the Miniclip.com site.
These games were successful, and the site became a fundamental part of the company's identity. The aim was to create games that would reach many people, and the mission was accomplished. Today, millions of people play Miniclip's titles. "The website exploded in popularity," recalls Marius Manolache, Miniclip's Chief Operating Officer. Today, the company is a leader in digital games and is present in 12 countries with 20 studios, one of which is in Portugal. "We are one of the world's largest creators and publishers of casual and mid-core games. Our games reach over 400 million monthly users and 70 million daily active players on various platforms."
