AI Strategy Games that Generate Themselves. Starting with Echo Chess: the viral "Wordle for Chess"

What it does

We're building AI strategy games that generate themselves. We just launched our first game as Launch Partners with Discord and it's been a massive hit. Echo Chess is doing to chess what pickleball did to tennis. We believe there鈥檚 a huge opportunity for innovating on easy-to-learn, hard-to-master games like chess and open them up to a mass-market audience, and we鈥檝e found the enormous latent demand to be severely underserved. From grandmasters to grandmas to a whole lot of GenZ fans, our players get obsessed with playing, creating, remixing, and sharing top-tier community UGC with our Playground builder. If you resonate with our mission, come join us on this journey. And more importantly, have you solved Echo Chess today? // Read more about us here: https://venturebeat.com/games/echo-chunk-raises-1-4m-to-make-ai-based-puzzle-games/
