Our History

Earlier, we shared the exciting story about how we joined the Playrix family of companies. We're confident our creative collaboration will captivate players worldwide with new game hits. Today, however, we'd like to take a moment to highlight our journey and reflect on the path we've traveled over our 20 years of existence.

Boolat was established on March 1, 2001, in Donetsk, Ukraine. Embarking on such a project in the early 2000s was daring and ambitious, but our founders didn't let that stop them. Our first steps in the world of game development were exhilarating yet challenging. By March 2003, to the delight of RPG strategy fans, we released Lethal Dreams: The Circle of Fate. The game was well-received by players, but more importantly, it provided us with invaluable experience and strengthened our team with skilled professionals. We decided not to stop there, and our quest for professional growth and advancement led us to a new genre—arcade racing. Developing Lagsters provided us with immense experience, as we had to create a new engine and essentially learn everything from scratch.

Continuing our exploration of diverse genres, we gathered valuable expertise, transitioning from releasing games on CDs to online platforms and collaborating with industry titans like Sony. During this period, we launched our first casual game, Travel Agency, a series of successful time management games, Amelie's Cafe, and gained our first experience developing hidden object games with Mystery Cruise. Following Mystery Cruise, our collaboration with publisher BigFish Games led to the release of numerous high-quality games that players still love to this day. By 2015, not only did we have a substantial collection of successful multi-genre projects, but we also formed a clear vision for our future development. This is when we chose to concentrate on releasing free-to-play games for mobile devices. This decision led to the release of hits like Sunken Secrets, Harvest Land, Paris: City Adventure, and Decurse. 

In 2020, a new chapter in our story started when we became a part of the Playrix family of companies. All the games developed by Boolat continue to receive updates and any needed support. All the new Boolat games will be created in close collaboration with Playrix and released under the Boolat Play brand. We're confident that epic events and achievements lie ahead for us. We're already working on a new hit, putting all the experience and knowledge we've accumulated throughout our journey into play. Stay tuned for more details in our upcoming articles :)
