Lil Snack, a game startup, has partnered with GamesBeat to launch daily games for its audience. The games, which are designed to be light and fun, will be coordinated with the game news on GamesBeat for the first seven days. For the next 30 days starting May 20, the first day of GamesBeat Summit 2024, Lil Snack will run its puzzle games, trivia titles, and other games on the GamesBeat website. The idea was inspired by the success of games like Wordle at The New York Times. Lil Snack was founded by Eric Berman and Travis Chen and has raised $3.1 million from investors including A16z Games Speedrun and Powerhouse Capital.

The games are created using AI tools and are designed to be in sync with pop culture trends. The company has grown organically over the past six months, with over 100% month-over-month growth for several consecutive months. The team plans to work with distribution partners like Amazon Prime and BuzzFeed and will tailor games for GamesBeat in the form of trivia games with game themes as well as tech-related games. The company is also working on projects with brand sponsors and has plans to roll out its games across the internet in a viral and ubiquitous way.
