Turnt Gaming

Based in Washington, US, and founded in 2020 by CEO Jeff Liboon, Turnt Gaming develops blockchain games. In March 2022, Turnt Gaming raised USD 4. 3 million in seed funding from investors Polygon Studios, AU21 Capital, Genblock Capital, and Shima Capital. The company employs 6 employees as of March 2022.

The company develops games that combine live entertainment with the ability to own real fighters that can be purchased or earned within the game as NFTs. The players can buy fighters as NFT characters and put them into tournaments to battle others. The company captures videos of matches and shares them with players who can watch those matches and earn rewards. The players can also predict what happens next and place wagers on that.

In the game, players can play-to-earn, as they can enter their NFTs into simulated fights and the most skilled players have a higher chance of winning. The players can also watch-to-earn, where viewers can earn Turnt’s native in-game Taunt token for watching fight streams, and can also predict-to-earn, where spectators can compete with other viewers to predict outcomes of the simulated fights and win Taunt tokens for free. The company plans to use the funds for the development of its platform, as well as to further develop its game, Taunt Battleworld.
