At 15, Trivia Crack creator Etermax has surpassed 800 million downloads

Etermax launched its hit game Trivia Crack in 2013, and now the company is celebrating its 15th anniversary, having grabbed its stake for the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based company in the global games business.

Along with Word Crack, Trivia Crack is still popular today and it has generated more than 800 million downloads, or enough for one in every 10 people in the world. The growth rate for the game has accelerated as the brand becomes stronger around the world. But Etermax is not resting on its laurels.
