Ready Unveils Ready Games Subscription Plan with 130 Rotating Original Mini-Games to Redefine Competitive Gaming for Casual Players
NEW YORK – March 7, 2019 – Ready, the studio behind the incredibly popular app The Ready Games, today announced a special subscription plan that will include rolling access to the last 30 days of Ready Games from the company’s portfolio of 130 original mini-games. The Ready Games is the most active casual eSports tournament in the world – producing more than 130 rotating original mini-game tournaments in the last 6 months alone for the app’s fast growing user base. Ready is also one of the most prolific mobile developers in the App Store and Google Play. Considered the “Saturday Night Live approach to gaming,” The Ready Games delivers three culturally-relevant mini-games every week to an eager audience that competes for real cash in exciting online tournaments. “Since my first byline for WIRED, I believed that games – and eventually the Internet – would lead to profound cultural changes,” says David S. Bennahum, Founder & CEO of Ready. “With touch-enabled devices everywhere, games are no longer exclusive to ‘hardcore’ players. There’s a huge, untapped market for casual games that can be enjoyed competitively by an audience that is 60% female and does not identify as ‘gamers.’ The Ready Games gives casual players a chance to test their skills against competitors and benefit financially from playing. It’s a game-changer in every sense of the word.” The Ready Games Subscription With such an eclectic selection of titles, it was only natural for Ready. to make the last 30 days of past games available for a single monthly fee to users who crave some variety.

Socially Conscious Games Vaxx! & Trashed Now Part of The Ready Games catalog
Ready has been adding new titles at a breakneck pace in the past few weeks, including: Vaxx! – in which players match two types of vaccines to the corresponding viruses; and the environmentally-conscious Trashed, where you can help a sea turtle dodge ocean trash to survive. These are just two recent games that have been added as part of what Ready calls “the Saturday Night Live approach to gaming” (culturally-relevant games that are not only fun, but actually in sync with current events). Vaxx! is aimed squarely at the current vaccination crisis in Brooklyn – and Trashed was inspired by news earlier this year surrounding the death of a whale in the Philippines with almost 90 pounds of ocean trash in its stomach.
