Thank You for 10 Years of Fun!

We're 10 years old! We've included a free wallpaper to this update for everyone to download. Enjoy!

Magmic was founded in Ottawa, Canada in 2002 as the mobile industry was in its infancy, and it wasn’t long before we became one of the leading providers of premier entertainment content for BlackBerry. Since then, we have expanded our portfolio and brand across multiple platforms with over 2.2 million unique mobile users worldwide playing at least one Magmic game every month. 2011 proved to be another banner year and we are ramping up to release some amazing new titles in 2012, including: Blackjack King on BlackBerry, Ka-Glom on BB10, Wave Crasher on iOS, and a yet to be titled game on iOS in collaboration with ground-breaking graphic artist eepmon.

To celebrate Magmic’s 10 Year Anniversary and milestones, we are discounting a number of our products,  along with running a giveaway contest. Check out the link below for contest details and how you can enter to win!
