Monarch Game Studios

About the offering

Monarch Game Studios is a video game developer and platform company raising equity crowdfunding via Regulation CF at $1 per share with a $1,000 minimum investment. The company's pre-money valuation is $64,864,860. A time-limited bonus share incentive (up to 26% combined) is available through August 27. Core Concept: Monarch is building what it calls a 'reward-native gaming' ecosystem, positioning itself at the intersection of the projected $206B global gaming market and the loyalty/rewards industry. The central idea is to solve a problem where in-game achievements, XP, and virtual items are siloed within individual games. Monarch wants to create a universal rewards platform — integrated via a technology called the 'XP Network' — that allows players to earn points across games and redeem them for digital or physical real-world products, similar to how credit card or airline loyalty programs work across merchants. Products & Technology: The company has games currently available on iOS and Android, with 'Pong of Champions' highlighted as a live title. The XP Network is described as being built directly into game design via API integration. A Shopify loyalty flow is also mentioned as part of the commerce infrastructure, suggesting real-world product redemption is tied to e-commerce partners. Business Model (4-Pillar Flywheel): (1) Game Sales & Downloadable Content — revenue from premium titles and in-game expansions; (2) XP-Powered Commerce — revenue share on digital and physical products redeemed through the platform; (3) Brand Partnerships — fees from brands integrating their products as gamer rewards; (4) Developer Participation — revenue share from third-party studios building on the ecosystem. Partnerships & Collaborations: Monarch lists a notable set of tabletop, card game, and entertainment publisher partners, including Ares Games, Catalyst Game Labs, Chaosium Inc., Incredible Technologies, L99 Games, Looney Labs, Modiphius Entertainment, Rising Empire Studios, Ulisses Spiele, Wise Wizard Games, Wyrd Games, Warlord Games, Norse Foundry, and Trivium Studios. Team: Leadership includes CEO Louis Castle (background at EA and other major studios), Founder Jason Hawronsky, CTO & Co-Founder Chase Farmer, and Creative Partner & IP Advisor Loren Coleman. The team collectively cites experience at Apple, Amazon, and EA. Investor Perks: Tiered bonus share structure. A time-based 8% bonus applies to all investments made before August 27. Amount-based bonuses stack on top: $2,500+ receives 8% bonus + Monarch XP; $5,000+ receives 11%; $10,000+ receives 15%; $25,000+ receives 18%. The maximum combined bonus is 26% (18% amount-based + 8% time-based). Investments of $1,000–$2,499 are only eligible for the time-based bonus. XP rewards (ranging from 125,000 to 1,250,000 Monarch XP) are also granted at higher investment tiers. Market Context: The offering cites a projected $206B gaming market by 2028, 3.58 billion active gamers globally, and McKinsey data noting paid loyalty program members are ~60% more likely to increase brand spending after joining. The company frames itself as the missing infrastructure linking two $300B+ markets: gaming and loyalty/rewards. Regulatory & Risk Notes: Shares are common stock in a private company, not publicly traded, with a one-year lockup period post-offering. Standard Reg CF risks apply: illiquidity, potential total loss, dilution, and long exit timelines (5–10+ years). The intermediary is DealMaker Securities LLC (FINRA/SIPC member).
