## About

Founded in 2013 by Dong Nguyen, Flappy Bird specializes in mobile gaming. In October 2024, Flappy Bird raised USD 2 million in seed funding co-led by Kenetic Capital and Scytale Digital, including Big Brain Holdings, Optic Capital, and Four Seasons Ventures.

Flappy Bird offers a digital gaming experience centered around its flagship product, the official Flappy Bird game, which features characters such as Trixy, a three-eyed bird; Peng, a penguin; Quirky, a unique bird with a unicorn horn; and Tekno, a futuristic robot bird. These characters enhance gameplay by providing users with diverse abilities, catering to players of all ages. The game is primarily distributed through mobile app platforms across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

Flappy Bird generates revenue through in-app transactions associated with its gaming offerings. Players engage in a direct-to-consumer model where they can purchase upgrades, additional characters, or gain access to special game modes.

The organization plans to use the October 2024 funding to revive the iconic game with Web3 features, including blockchain rewards and a new multiplayer mode.
