History

[edit]

Frenzoo Limited was founded in 2007 by Wilfred Yau, Simon Newstead, and Kevin Yoon, with a focus on developing 3D lifestyle and fashion games for mobile platforms. The company released its first major title, Style Me Girl, in 2012, which was marketed as the first 3D fashion game on mobile and achieved over one million downloads within its first two weeks.[2] In approximately 2014, Frenzoo launched Fashion Empire, a boutique simulation game that expanded its offerings in the fashion gaming genre.

In 2015, Frenzoo raised $2 million in funding from investors including K5 Ventures, Anshe Chung, and Fresco Capital, supporting its growth and development efforts.[1]

  • Fashion Empire (~2014) – A simulation game allowing players to design and manage a fashion boutique.
  • Me Girl Love Story – A narrative-driven game blending fashion with storytelling elements.

These games are available on iOS, Android, and Amazon Appstore platforms, collectively achieving over 30 million downloads as reported on the company's website.[3]

Wilfred Yau serves as the CEO, Simon Newstead as a co-founder with a key role in the company's direction, and Kevin Yoon as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), overseeing technical development.[4]

Finances

Frenzoo has raised a total of $2 million in funding, with its most recent round in 2015 led by investors such as K5 Ventures and Fresco Capital.[1] Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, as the company remains privately held.

Reception

Frenzoo’s games have been recognized for their appeal to female gamers, a niche market in mobile gaming, with Style Me Girl and Fashion Empire featured by Apple App Store and Google Play.[5] User reviews praise the creativity and accessibility of the games, though some criticism has emerged in gaming communities regarding potential promotion of consumerism, though this lacks widespread documentation in reliable sources.
