King

King, formerly known as King.com, is a casual-social games company, and the second largest game developer on Facebook. King develops games for the web on www.king.com, for mobile (both iOS & Android) and Facebook.

King developed Candy Crush Saga, which surpassed Zynga's Farmville 2 as the most popular game on Facebook since March 2013 and it has the most iOS downloads, with 45.6 million monthly users.

King games offer synchronised play, enabling users to connect to their Facebook account whilst playing on their smartphone or tablet device. This means that the users progress is updated across all platforms, allowing the player to switch from mobile, to tablet, to Facebook without losing their progress in the game.
