History

[edit]

Ludia was founded on March 15, 2007, by industry veterans and headed by Alexandre Thabet, CEO. In that same year, Ludia signs its first licensing deals with Fremantle (The Price Is Right) and Fox (Hell's Kitchen).

In 2008, Ludia launched its first game based on The Price is Right on Wii, DS, PC and iOS. In 2011, Ludia adopted the "Free to Play" or “Pay to Win” model. From 2009 to 2013, YouTube users played Ludia's video games, including Family Feud, The Price is Right and Press Your Luck. These videos continued the success for Ludia's video games. From 2008 to 2014, Ludia published video games based on popular game shows, and as of 2017, all of Ludia's video games based on game shows are now no longer available to play on the App Store, however you can still play Ludia's former titles on the game consoles of the company released them on. Ludia's last game based on a game show was the sequel to Family Feud & Friends, Family Feud & Friends 2 released on August 2, 2014. This game is still available to play, but has since been renamed Family Feud Live!, and re-released on the App Store on May 25, 2017, by new game developer Umi and Fremantle. Ludia is no longer part of development in this renamed game. Ludia had a large library of games that were popular in the underground, but unfortunately, these games have been discontinued.
