"Word Crack was not only the first game we developed, but also one of the first mobile tools in Spanish to connect people from several countries in the world with an entertaining and challenging proposal. It went from being a popular app to a huge sensation", says Maximo Cavazzani, CEO and founder of etermax. "We are proud to see that our games last in time, but above all that they are chosen because they entertain, promote knowledge and connection with others, and we hope they add value to society and to culture."
