30 MILLION Teachers Have Entered the Classroom!

What was once a funny little Creative Wednesday game that tickled our funny bones has turned out to be our newest blockbuster: Teacher Simulator has crossed 30 million downloads this month!

Released globally in November 2020, Teacher Simulator was identified as a standout performer by our dev team from an early stage, appealing broadly with its quirky gameplay and nostalgic value. It’s now a new flagship of ours, earning its seat alongside our other major hits such as Shootout 3D (35 million downloads), Bake It (49 million downloads), and Draw It (94 million+ downloads).

Part of the  Teacher Simulator story that makes us particularly proud, though, is the big role it played in the fight against child food poverty. We pledged every penny of the UK profits made from the game’s ads and in-app purchases over the first week of the school term to the Marcus Rashford-backed charity FareShare.

Our delighted CEO David Darling had this to say on the game’s success: “It’s great to see a game like this reaching so many players and still continuing to grow. That so many players clearly want to engage with new experiences like Teacher Simulator fills us with pride and confidence to keep making unique titles with a broad range of influences.”
