We build and operate fantasy games that scale.▍
For over 13 years we've built and run fantasy and social games. Today Monkey Bytes designs, ships and operates the platforms behind VM Fantasy - 85,000+ players for TV 2 - and TourManager, with live scoring and leaderboards that hold up on deadline day.
A fantasy platform is a product and an operation. We own both.
From the first wireframe to live scoring on final night, Monkey Bytes builds the product and keeps it running under real load - so your brand ships a fantasy game that feels effortless to play.
Design & engineering, end to end
Product, UX and full-stack engineering under one roof. Mobile-first interfaces, considered down to the deadline badge and the empty state.
Databases & real-time scoring
We're specialists in operations: heavy-load live scoring, resilient databases, real-time updates, monitoring and support. Points land in seconds - not the next morning.
Built for deadline day
Tens of thousands of managers editing at once, millions of point calculations, leaderboards that stay fast when everyone shows up at kickoff.
Two live platforms. One team behind them.
Both are running in production today, across football and road cycling - the same engine, tuned per sport.
