5th Cell Media company

5TH Cell was founded in 2003 by Jeremiah Slaczka, Joseph M Tringali and Marius Fahlbusch. The owners are actively involved in the day to day running of the business, and we’re 100% independent of any external publisher or investor.

The company started off by making original IP mobile games for Nokia Series 40/60 handsets. After a brief transition into licensed mobile work, we moved back into Original IP development with our first Nintendo DS title, Drawn to Life, in 2007. Drawn to Life was a big hit, which turned into a franchise, eventually selling 5 million units. We shipped our second Nintendo DS title, Lock’s Quest, in 2008. In 2009, we partnered with Warner Brothers to bring our third original IP, Scribblenauts to market. Scribblenauts won scores of awards, including several AIAS, GD Choice and Best of E3. The franchise has entertained millions of gamers, and spawned several original titles in that universe, all developed or co-developed by 5TH Cell.

We launched a premium iOS title, Run Roo Run in 2011, and in 2012, we launched our first 2 console titles, Hybrid for XBLA and Scribblenauts Unlimited, a launch title for the Nintendo WiiU. 2013 saw the launch of Scribblenauts Unmasked, Maxwell’s adventure alongside superheroes from the DC Comics Universe.

After 12 years in business, we’re still as excited as ever to develop innovative franchises for our fans.
