History
Funtactix was founded in Israel in 2006 by Yaron Leifenberg and Ilan Graicer, backed by Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) and Benchmark Capital.
In 2008, the current CEO, Sam Glassenberg, ex-DirectX Lead Program Manager, joined the company. The company released Moondo, an online world of 3D, web-browser-based, multi-player action games.
In 2009, the company was reset. Co-founder Ilan Graicer left the company and Funtactix completely rebuilt its technology as a Flash and HTML5 platform used to create IP-based online worlds and games.
In 2011 Paramount and Funtactix announced a multi-title deal to create social games for select Paramount brands. The partnership resulted in the release of titles based on Rango (March 2011) and Mission: Impossible (November 2011).
