About

Curio is a game studio founded in 2021 and based in San Francisco. The company focuses on building competitive PvP games and infrastructure that emphasise composability and user-generated content, operating at the intersection of gaming and blockchain technology.

The studio's flagship product, Duper, is a high-stakes social strategy game that blends mechanics from titles such as Teamfight Tactics, Catan, Among Us, and Poker. Alongside this, Curio develops Keystone, a toolkit designed for building performant and composable on-chain games. Both products reflect the company's work in on-chain gaming, smart contract integration, and blockchain infrastructure.

Curio has raised $8 million in funding. The team includes veterans from titles such as Genshin Impact, Halo, and Pacific Rim.
