About

What we make

Good ideas, carefully made.

Peanutgames makes daily games built around simple ideas and clear rules. One good idea is enough. We would rather make a focused game well than pile on features it does not need.

We care about fair challenges, reliable answers, and interfaces that do not get in the way. Most importantly, the games have to be fun. A clever concept does not matter if people do not enjoy playing it.

We play the games ourselves throughout development and only make things we would actually choose to play. Our current games focus on words, knowledge, and quick decisions, with a new challenge every day.
