Mission & Key Concepts
Bringing The World Together Through Gaming
Mino Games is a character-driven gaming company that is on track to become the next household name with its latest ambitious franchise.
Mino Games is leveraging blockchain technology to unlock a new era for gamers by developing immersive worlds where players come to play, collect, curate, compete, co-create, and own. Our character-driven games spread joy by uniting players across 92 countries through a shared purpose and community.
Mino Games is on a mission to connect the world by building the next major gaming universe.
Culture & Values
Corporate culture is essential to allow the organization to differentiate itself. In terms of image on the one hand, it has strengths both internally and externally to consumers. It is indeed a source of cohesion and motivation of employees and it limits conflicts. With customers, it conveys a positive image and can develop a feeling of closeness to the company or even become a criterion of choice.
At Mino, we are a trailblazing creator of character-driven games. We believe that play fosters a deeper human connection with oneself and others.
Happiest Team in Gaming
Mino has the energy, excitement, and action of a startup – but without the bad bits. We're well organized, well funded, and care deeply about each of our colleagues. And we take care of each other!
Our Values:
- We value each other
- We take care of each other
- We trust each other
- Together, we face difficult situations head-on
- We learn from everything we do
