Games for a Living

Games for a Living (GFAL) is a developer and publisher of casual video games that leverages blockchain and deep-tech solutions to produce premium gaming experiences. The company's current portfolio includes Diamond Jewels, the first luxury Match-3 game where players craft, collect, and trade jewelry, combining stunning 3D visuals, AI-driven personalization, player-generated content, and a unique player-to-player marketplace designed for a high-value audience; and Elemental Raiders, a strategy game. Diamond Jewels redefines the Match-3 genre by blending luxury, creativity, and ownership, featuring realistic premium jewelry design with elegant gameplay, jewelry progression meta that rewards continued play, and social-first features including cooperation and competition events. The game delivers polished 3D visuals that perform well even on low-end devices. GFAL was founded by a world-class team of gaming industry veterans: CEO Manel Sort (former VP at Activision Blizzard King, with 60+ games and $1B in EBITDA), Art Director Javier Leon (Emmy Award Nominee for Netflix series The Crown), CSO Trip Hawkins (founder of Electronic Arts, 3DO, and Digital Chocolate), COO Christian Gascons (20+ years gaming operator and entrepreneur), and CCO Marc Tormo (14-year gaming entrepreneur). The company has received coverage from PocketGamer, which praised its elegant twist on Match-3 meta and noted the EA, Blizzard, King, and Digital Chocolate veterans behind the project. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, GFAL has raised $4.6M in seed funding from investors including Inveready, Bonsai Partners, Supercell, and Bonduc Bioscience SL.
