We build games with depth and heart that captivate players worldwide.
Who we are
Pretty Simple is a leading mobile game developer founded in Paris in 2010. With our flagship franchise Criminal Case and new title Sorcery School, we've established ourselves as masters of engaging, story-driven gaming experiences that resonate with millions of players worldwide.
Our success is built on a simple philosophy: create games that are accessible and immediately engaging, while offering depth through compelling narratives and polished design.
Our journey
Founded by Bastien Cazenave and Corentin Raux, Pretty Simple began as a small team with big ambitions. The launch of Criminal Case in 2012 marked our breakthrough moment, quickly growing to become Facebook's Game of the Year in 2013 with over 100 million players.
Since then, we've expanded the Criminal Case universe across multiple seasons and platforms, and launched a new innovative title - Sorcery School - that blends familiar mechanics with a fresh storytelling approach.
Today, our team of 40+ talented professionals continues to create exceptional gaming experiences from our headquarters in the heart of Paris.
