Bridging German Tech with French Media: kr3m’s “Playground” Enhances France’s Pemier Daily Newspaper’s Website, with more Global Partnerships on the Horizon
Karlsruhe (Germany), March 25, 2024 – kr3m, a trailblazer in digital entertainment based in Karlsruhe, is broadening its global outreach with the launch of a new, exciting project. The company’s online gaming platform, “Playground,” has been integrated into the digital services offered by Le Monde, the premier daily newspaper in France. This partnership represents kr3m’s inaugural foray into markets beyond German-speaking countries, signaling the beginning of an ambitious plan to forge global partnerships in 2024.
Jan Reichert, kr3m’s Managing Director, expressed excitement over the collaboration, stating, “Collaborating with Le Monde to feature our HTML5 games is a privilege. This partnership is a key milestone in our strategy to expand internationally and sets a positive tone for 2024.”
“Playground” games are available to Le Monde’s readers without the need for registration, offering instant access to beloved classics like Solitaire, Sudoku, Mahjong, and Snake, all at no cost and playable directly in web browsers.
The Benefits of HTML5 Games
HTML5 games offer an immediate, hassle-free gaming experience across both mobile and desktop platforms, eliminating the need for downloads or wait times. Casual games not only help to increase traffic, but also prolong the time users spend on the websites, increase the return rate and thus user loyalty to the portal. On average, users engage with the games for over 15 minutes. The games are funded through advertising, yet players have the choice to opt for a gaming subscription as well—a tactic that’s becoming more and more popular with leading online newspapers, but one that is not currently integrated on arcade.lemonde.fr. Classics like crossword puzzles, Sudoku, solitaire, mahjong, and bubble shooters form the cornerstone of the “Playground”, chosen for their widespread global appeal.

The “Playground” casual games portal is favored by major German-language online newspapers for its ability to increase reach, enhance customer loyalty, generate additional ad revenue, and encourage new sign-ups and subscriptions.
