Bucked Games brings together fun mobile gaming experiences with education in a safe environment. Through its interactive solutions under the brand Mayanimo, the company supports children’s learning processes. Going beyond entertainment, Bucked Games places strong emphasis on pedagogical accuracy, building a sustainable learning model. The company focuses on enhancing children’s cognitive development, problem-solving skills, and creativity through games.

Bucked Games develops AI-powered game worlds tailored directly for children, schools, and institutions. These game environments, designed for children from kindergarten to 6th grade, aim to enable learning through gameplay. Thanks to school-specific game worlds, students can also come together outside school hours and play in a safe digital environment with their classmates.

Within the platform, children’s time spent, interaction patterns, and areas of interest are analyzed through AI-based tools, and the resulting insights are shared with parents and teachers in a meaningful way. Across Turkey, more than 10,000 students in approximately 300 schools actively use Mayanimo, which has been developed in alignment with the curriculum.

A strategic partnership has been established with Vodafone, focusing on game marketing. Within this collaboration, a revenue-sharing model is implemented based on Vodafone’s marketing support for jointly selected games. Additionally, as part of this partnership, a social responsibility game titled “ECO: Save the Planet” has been developed. Games launched under this collaboration have reached over 2 million downloads.

Bucked Games also develops custom games tailored to the needs and brand values of institutions. In this context, Ozmo Adventure Land, developed in collaboration with Şölen, offers children an engaging and educational mobile gaming experience. The game is widely played in more than 35 countries.
