ChopUp, a prominent Nigerian mobile game development company, has recently secured a significant partnership with US-based mobile game publisher GameMine Inc. This strategic alliance aims to distribute ChopUp’s unique African-themed mobile games to a worldwide audience, marking a major milestone for the Nigerian firm and the broader African gaming industry.

Founded in 2012, ChopUp has carved a niche for itself by developing world-class mobile games that are not only designed to offer an optimal user experience but also to tell authentic African narratives. The company's commitment lies in creating locally relevant and entertaining content that resonates with users while presenting a unique cultural perspective on the global stage.

The newly announced partnership integrates ChopUp’s carefully curated selection of African mobile games into GameMine’s extensive library of titles. This integration will make these games accessible to millions of GameMine’s subscribers across the globe, significantly expanding ChopUp’s reach beyond its current user base of 700,000. This move is also a testament to GameMine’s ongoing commitment to fostering collaborations with African companies, aiming to create tangible economic opportunities and provide a diverse range of culturally relevant games to its growing African subscriber base.

Daniel Starr, CEO of GameMine, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "As GameMine continues to expand and refine our mobile game catalog, we are excited to be able to offer localized content to our subscribers. We have a very strong presence in Africa and I’m confident ChopUp’s games will really resonate with our African subscribers." His remarks underscore GameMine’s strategy to cater to regional preferences and enhance its content offering.

Zubair Abubakar, Co-founder of ChopUp, articulated the profound implications of this partnership for his company. He noted, "The GameMine partnership puts our company on the international stage and distributes our games to millions of people around the world. This huge boost in exposure is fantastic for our company, and we’re impressed that GameMine has shown so much interest in working with local businesses like ours." Abubakar further highlighted GameMine's proactive approach, adding, "GameMine is taking concrete, proactive steps to create legitimate economic opportunities in geographic regions that need them, and we are very thankful for this."

This collaboration aligns with GameMine's broader strategy to solidify its presence across Africa. The company has recently engaged in multiple partnerships with major entities, including international mobile carriers like Vodacom and Orange. By entering Africa’s dynamic mobile gaming industry through this partnership with ChopUp, GameMine is not only expanding its content portfolio but also demonstrating a commitment to fostering the local game development community on the continent.
