What Tall Team does

Tall Team is a privately held, Dublin-based game development studio that designs and publishes casual multiplayer games for web and mobile platforms. Its product portfolio currently comprises two titles: Smash Karts, a Multiplayer Online Kart Battle Arena (MOKBA) game playable on web, iOS, and Android, and Obby Roads, an obby racing game featuring parkour driving, unlockable vehicles, and weekly course and leaderboard updates, which launched exclusively on Poki in late 2025. The studio serves casual browser and mobile gamers globally through a horizontal, persona-based segmentation approach centered on quick-access free-to-play entertainment.

The company's technology footprint is built on browser-based game delivery and native mobile applications (iOS via the Apple App Store, Android via Google Play), with no disclosed proprietary backend, AI components, APIs, or SDKs. Distribution is mediated entirely through third-party platforms: web reach is achieved through Poki and Crazy Games, and mobile reach through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The studio is led by three co-founders—Brian O'Donnell, John Halloran, and Paul O'Donnell—and operates with a headcount of 1–10, suggesting a small, product-focused team.

Tall Team generates revenue through advertising tied to game plays and platform partnerships, with no publicly disclosed pricing, subscription, or in-game purchase model. The studio's growth levers to date have been content cadence (weekly updates) and platform partnerships, most notably the exclusive Poki arrangement for Obby Roads. No institutional funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, patents, certifications, or regulatory actions are disclosed in available sources, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
