Miniclip is a popular website famed for its browser-based casual and exciting games. It was started in 2001 by Robert Small and Tihan Presbie on a budget of £40,000 and quickly grew to become a leader in its respective market. As of 2008, the company has been valued at over £200 million, having been profitable for six of its seven years, with turnovers exceeding £20 million in the past two years. As well as publishing exclusive games, the website also provides more widely known titles such as Clone Wars Adventures, Club Penguin, Free Realms, RuneScape, and Webosaurs.
Disney's Club Penguin has been on Miniclip since 2006. It is a massively multiplayer online role-play game involving a virtual world containing a range of online games and activities, developed by Club Penguin Entertainment (formerly New Horizon Interactive now owned by the Walt Disney Company). Using cartoon penguins as avatars, players waddle around, chat, play minigames and participate in other activities with one another in a snow-covered virtual world.
Dofus is a Flash based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Ankama Games, a French computer game manufacturer. It is primarily a pay-to-play game, though it still offers a limited amount of free content. Its success has led to the marketing of spin-off products, such as books, art and comics. It has also led to the development of two continuations: Dofus Arena, released at the beginning of 2006, which is an alternative "tournament" version of Doofus; and Wakfu, a continuation of Doofus, which is currently in the process of beta testing. The game has attracted over ten million players worldwide and is especially well-known in France.
On the Run was originally launched with the exclusive online beta on Miniclip. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game Adventure game developed by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) set in a whimsical, family-friendly, fantasy-themed world for the PC. The game was released on April 29, 2009 for the PC.
Spineworld was a free to play virtual world that was for a time the number one game on Miniclip.com. It included adventures and places for users to visit. Users could customize their avatar, have their own room and have options to upgrade by paying for digital goods. It was renamed to Migo Land and was only free to play for a trial period of 7 days. After this period the user had to become a member to play.
