ZiMAD is a U.S.-based developer and publisher of video games, established in 2009 and headquartered originally in San Francisco, California.
History
ZiMAD was created by the XIM Group, a company active in fintech, aviation, and healthcare software sectors. Initially concentrating on mobile game creation, the firm underwent a rebranding from XIMAD to ZiMAD in 2016. In 2021, the company shifted its main office to Florida. Further expanding its international footprint, ZiMAD inaugurated a branch in Serbia during 2022 to reinforce its foothold within the European market.
The company's premier title, Magic Jigsaw Puzzles, debuted worldwide in 2011 and had surpassed 120 million downloads by 2023. This game includes collaborations with prominent intellectual properties like LIFE magazine, Disney, Nickelodeon, Sony Pictures, Cartoon Network, and National Geographic. Such licensing agreements have bolstered ZiMAD’s competitive position and influence within the puzzle gaming industry.
Starting in 2012, ZiMAD broadened its game catalog with additions such as the Bubble Birds series, My Museum Story, and Magic Cross Stitch. In 2020, the company adopted a merger and acquisition approach by purchasing the board game Domino Online, which notably enhanced user engagement and advertising revenue while diversifying their product lineup.
The surge in mobile gaming demand during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in higher download rates and increased earnings for ZiMAD. The organization responded by shifting predominantly to remote working arrangements.
In 2022, ZiMAD ventured into narrative-focused puzzle games through the launch of Jigsaw Puzzle Villa, developed jointly with Brunette Games based in the United States. This initiative exemplifies the company's strategic aim to expand its genre variety and attract new audiences within the mobile gaming sector.
