Cubus Games

What Cubus Games does

Cubus Games, SL is a privately held game development studio founded around 2012 and headquartered in Igualada, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The company specializes in creating custom interactive games and gamified experiences for institutional clients, with a portfolio spanning cultural heritage, healthcare, education, and brand marketing. Its core technical platform is built on Unity3D, supporting proprietary capabilities in geolocation-based game mechanics, gamified interactive storytelling with multi-language delivery, and a documented gamification design methodology refined over 12+ years. The team of approximately 10-11 multidisciplinary professionals includes Unity3D developers, narrative designers, illustrators (with credits at Marvel, Delcourt, and Boom Studios), and animators (including one with Netflix series credits), enabling full-stack project delivery in-house.

The business operates three distinct revenue streams: custom project development for institutional clients (project-based B2B engagements priced at €5K-€50K+ tiers), digital product sales through App Store, Google Play, and Steam (one-time license model for consumer-facing narrative games), and physical board game and merchandise sales through the company's own e-commerce store with domestic Spanish shipping. Go-to-market is sales-led, with new B2B business generated primarily through direct outreach via the website contact form. Distribution spans website direct sales (enterprise), global app marketplaces (consumer), and own e-commerce (physical products).

The customer base is concentrated in Catalan public-sector and nonprofit institutions, including Fundació Mallorca Literària, Fundació SHE/Fundació 'la Caixa', Consorci Sanitari de l'Anoia, Institut Català de la Salut, Institut Ramon Llull, Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya, Museu Agbar de les Aigües, and Ajuntament d'Igualada, alongside enterprises such as 3cat, The Mediapro Studio, and Ziggy's Wish. The company has received public funding from the European Union's NextGenerationEU program, Spain's Ministry of Culture and Sports, and Generalitat de Catalunya. Recent strategic activity (2024-2026) includes consecutive SAGA Audience Awards, expansion into physical products via the Land of Castles board game and Quina Animalada d'Emocions card game, and the launch of a dedicated e-commerce storefront.
