History add

May 9, 2017

Founded in 2015, Experiment 7 started as a collaboration between founders Geoffrey "GZ" Zatkin and Demetri Detsaridis, who had previously worked together on DC Universe Online. Sharing an affinity for deep gameplay, tactical board gaming, and big data, Geoffrey and Demetri set out in the spring of 2014 to raise funds and find partners for a new endeavor.

Today, that effort manifests itself in Experiment 7, a collection of veteran game designers, engineers, artists, and producers who work to bring the tactical depth and incredible agency of strategy games to the magic of Virtual Reality. This team includes team members who have worked on the Age of Empires, Heroes of the Storm, Everquest, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and Homefront franchises as well as VR veterans who were at the forefront of the VR revolution at Autodesk and The University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies.

In 2016, Experiment 7 launched Magic Table Chess, the first game in the Magic Table series of games. Starting with one of the world's classic strategy games has allowed us to showcase the incredible potential of tabletop games in virtual reality and validated our hypothesis that "better than life" experiences are possible in this exciting new medium. With some of the most experienced VR developers in the industry and partnerships with some of the most memorable brands in the world, Experiment 7 is poised to be a breakout leader in the virtual reality strategy space.
