London, United Kingdom - Developer Reality Games today announced that it has taken one of humankind's greatest and most mundane smartphone obsessions, checking the weather, and turned it into a game.

In early 2015 Reality Games launched their first game based on Big Data, Landlord Real Estate Tycoon, which received a huge global success: downloaded by over 10 million players worldwide and earned over $5 million in sales without buying traffic. What makes us different from others? We created our games utilizing Big Data as content. It enables designers to use a huge amount of real-world assets and create a game that players can relate to as it mirrors their life. There are no complicated back stories to understand because the back story is the real world. Since the game is a reflection on real-life events, the players are more engaged. Moreover, by using a familiar concept this means our games are easily understood by players and have universal appeal. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2018 Reality Games (London) Limited.
