Mutate is a social platform based on games where everyone can be both a player and a creator, in the same application. We started Mutate in 2014 with the vision of democratizing game creation by providing our users with a low-code experience. We aim to offer a platform that is based on accessibility, integration, and interactive content.

Our intention is to support low-end hardware so everyone can use Mutate even if they are on a laptop without a dedicated graphics card or a mobile phone. We’re a globally distributed team with folks in Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Netherlands and more. We’re excited about changing social experiences through the launch of our platform.
