Our Customers
The secret to longevity? A laser focus on the customer. We publish casual games for women, ages 40+, who love intriguing mysteries and interesting puzzles. Our customers are looking for relaxation, value and convenience. An experience that will enrich their minds and elevate their spirits. We carefully select all the games we publish with an eye towards what our audience wants. The fact that our CEO and Founder, Ariella Lehrer, fits squarely in our demographic doesn’t hurt!
Retail is our Strength
While other companies turned away from retail sales, Legacy doubled down and captured market share. Legacy Games became the #1 casual game publisher at retail while simultaneously expanding its digital and international distribution. You can always find our games at Walmart stores, a long-term, trusted partner of Legacy.
Amazing Games™
Today, Legacy Games partners with many third-party developers on a nonexclusive basis to publish and distribute their games in physical and digital stores. We work with awesome companies like Artifex Mundi (Enigmatis andGrim Legends series) and Five-BN (New York Mysteries) among many others, to create compelling, best-selling Amazing Games™ bundles. The most popular themes include Supernatural Stories, Murder Mystery, Once Upon a Time, Fantastic Fables, and Magical Matches.
Indie Games
In 2021, Legacy Games launched a new program, aimed at helping “Indie” (independent) game developers find additional distribution channels and customers for their games. Legacy has carefully selected the “best of the best” of Indie games to bring to its customers who are looking for unique and innovative game playing experiences.
