GamesBeat is excited to partner with Lil Snack to have customized games just for our audience! We know as gamers ourselves, this is an exciting way to engage through play with the GamesBeat content you have already come to love. Start playing games here. 

Lil Snack has created a platform for snackable games that players can come back to every day, and we’re trying it out on GamesBeat.com.

These aren’t super serious games. In fact, they’re the opposite, meant to help distract you from your day, help you relax or give you a mental challenge with a puzzle or two. And for the first seven days, you’ll see how the topics are coordinated with the game news on GamesBeat.

I had toyed with this notion before, but we decided to dive in because what’s good for the New York Times should be good for us too.

These daily treats come to us from Lil Snack, a game startup which got off the ground with a team of just two — Eric Berman and Travis Chen. They drew our attention after it raised $3.1 million from investors including A16z Games Speedrun and Powerhouse Capital. During the previous six months, Lil Snack said it grew organically over 100% month-over-month for several consecutive months.

Berman said the games are chameleons. He said, “They are templates that can be updated daily to match the topics, themes, editorial of our partners making the games even more challenging, sticky and fun … like what we are doing with GamesBeat.”

As a teaser, he said to look out for work the company is doing with brand sponsors that can come take over Lil Snack and activate a game for their brand.

The team now has just four people, and it isn’t planning on spending on marketing. Rather, it is working with distribution partners like Amazon Prime and BuzzFeed. It will also tailor games for GamesBeat in the form of trivia games with game themes as …
