Big Fish Games online gaming platform

Big Fish Games is a prominent developer and distributor of casual games, primarily known for its extensive catalog of PC, Mac, and mobile titles. Founded in 2002 by Paul Thelen in Seattle, Washington, the brand carved out a significant niche in the 'hidden object' and puzzle game genres, eventually pioneering one of the industry's first gaming subscription services.

Over the years, the company has undergone significant leadership and ownership shifts. In 2014, it was acquired by Churchill Downs Incorporated, before being sold again in early 2018 to Aristocrat Leisure Limited, an Australian gambling machine manufacturer.

Today, Big Fish Games operates as a global entity with a primary focus on mobile social casino and casual gaming. While the original development and corporate headquarters remain in the United States, their digital products are distributed globally across various app stores and their proprietary website platform.
