Wooga
German company
Wooga is a German game software company based in Berlin that develops story-driven casual games for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets and social networks like Facebook. It has developed mobile games such as June's Journey, Pearl's Peril and Switchcraft. The company is part of the social games company Playtika. Their name comes from the words "World of Gaming".
History
Wooga was founded in January 2009 by Jens Begemann (CEO), Patrick Paulisch, and Philipp Moeser (CTO). Paulisch has since left Wooga. The first games released were only available on social networks, first and foremost on Facebook. The first game developed by Wooga was Brain Buddies, a quiz game released in July 2009. Wooga received €5 million in a round of funding led by Balderton Capital in November 2009. Holtzbrinck Ventures, which had provided funding earlier that year, also participated in this round.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Wooga” is german company. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Wooga, German and company, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “german company” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q974657. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
