About The Game Silo

What we make and why

The Game Silo has been making games for over three decades, way back when the internet was a simple place of flaming skulls and slow dial up connections. Over the years we have found many applications for games. Free to play games on sites such as Gimme5games are a great way to offer people a little play time with zero commitment, simply load up and play. But the real fun for us was making games that were easy for anyone to have access to. Enter the Retention games...

We realised that clients want a game with their brand, a logo or style of the entire game tha matched their website. A way for them to offer games, prizes, fun and most of all - a reason to come back, but all of that in their look and feel. So we made a suite of tools to manage the games, configure them and customise them so your users on site have a seamless experience. In short, we used our decades of experience and matched customer needs. Add a sprinkle of passion, as we love games and The Game Silo is the result! Fun, simple, no barrier to entry games that engage and retain your users.

About us

Before the age of the internet, games existed on what seems now archaic media. Hour long loading from cassette tapes, floppy disks and for the enthusiast - entering lines of code from the pages of magazines. Since then we have made progress and now pretty much everything hurtles down the pipe or through the air to our devices.

In early 2015 HTML5 was on our radar, a new and interesting way to make games in your browser. No more Flash™ complexities and easy entry for javascript programmers to start to make games. It almost felt like a full circle had come from the days of basic on something like the C64 to "run in a browser" scripting.

It was at this point we made a radical shift to be one of the early adopters of HTML5. The good old days of "What is better. Flash or HTML5?" have now long since gone and as December 2020 hit, Flash was dropped from browsers. So here we are, still developing with passion all types of titles and exclusive apps for our happy clients!

The Game Silo is not just games, we know you also need today some way to manage your product. Let us not forget a place to house it, data to store and analyise, oh, and a way to visualise your metrics. In todays arena there is so much to learn from our users and great insights from live data that help us improve our apps, therefore we developed the backoffice solutions that manage and tune our apps keeping revenue and player retention on target.

Over time we have developed our core systems that now form the backbone of the complete solution. So when you have a game from The Game Silo you also have the tools to manage them, monitor them and all the data and analytics you can dream of. Oh and a way to visualise them.

Still, with over 25 years of games industry experience, you would kind of expect that... If the new kids do not offer this whole package, you have to ask why... As a wise publisher once said "If you think it is expensive to hire a professional, go hire an amateur"

Happy gaming!
