The next chapter

Douglas Hare, co-founder and CEO of Outplay Entertainment said, “We’re delighted to welcome Stefan to the board at Outplay. Stefan has built an incredible reputation in the industry, not to mention an unmatched network, bringing with him knowledge and expertise that will significantly strengthen Outplay’s board."

Lampinen said, “Outplay has enjoyed a hugely successful 10 years, having built a strong foundation of talent and capability which have enabled them to deliver multiple critically acclaimed original IP, as well as hugely successful games based on Angry Birds and Gordon Ramsay.

"I look forward to working with the board and supporting the Outplay management team’s growth plans, building on the great work they have done to date. I’m excited to join them at the start of this next chapter and look forward to sharing my experience at board level, with our collective ambition to expand and scale the business.”

Outplay Entertainment celebrated its 10th anniversary in April 2021 and in March 2020 sold its Eight Pixels Square subsidiary to Miniclip. The developer has launched two new games this year: Gordon Ramsay’s Chef Blast in January and Mystery Match Village in April.
