You run the games section. We provide the platform, the portfolio of games and puzzles, and the technology behind it — for web, apps and e-paper.
What you get

- Existing and future kr3m games are included — from Plus, your own developments and licensed third-party titles can be added as well
- Full access to the Playground CMS to manage games, content and platform features
- Registration and subscription that integrate with your Single Sign-On and paywall
- Games as widgets in your existing pages, or as a games page of your own — whichever you prefer
What your team does

- Decides which features sit in front of and behind registration and paywall
- Configures the platform independently and switches individual games on and off
- Creates editorial word content and quizzes, with AI assistance where useful
Commercial model
Software-as-a-Service licence with traffic tiers matched to your requirements. Optional services such as redesign, migration, non-standard API integrations or the development of exclusive games are available on request.
Tiers
Solutions for publishers of every size
Three ways to use Playground — pick the one that fits your setup:
Every tier runs on the same platform. What differs is how much of it is switched on, how deeply it connects to your systems, and how much traffic it carries.
