Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.

Team

BeReal stands for authenticity in social media: one notification a day, unfiltered photos and videos, real friends. 40M+ people use BeReal every month, and they all post at the same moment. Since joining Voodoo, BeReal has returned to growth with a healthy business model and $50M in revenue this year. The opportunity is clear: people want an alternative to Instagram and TikTok. Our ambition is to make BeReal the leader in authentic social, used by hundreds of millions.
