## History

Crazy Monkey Studios was founded in 2010 by Steven Verbeek and Martijn Holtkamp, after they met at a game conference. They teamed up to develop the game 'Empire: The deck building strategy game'. With limited resources, they created Empire and launched it on iOS and Android. In 2014 the studio teamed up with [Claeysbrothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Claeysbrothers&action=edit&redlink=1) to publish their game [Guns, Gore and Cannoli](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guns,_Gore_and_Cannoli&action=edit&redlink=1) and launched the game on Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch in 2015. After a success release they again worked with Claeysbrothers to program and publish a sequel for them and launched [Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guns,_Gore_and_Cannoli_2&action=edit&redlink=1) in 2018 on the same platforms. Since then, according to a Claeysbrothers developer, Crazy Monkey Studios has stopped working with Claeysbrothers and has refused requests from them to make a third game. The Crazy Monkey team split up in 2018 and the majority relocated to a new office location in [Geel](/source/Geel), Belgium for a new start.

They teamed up with [Warcave](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Warcave&action=edit&redlink=1) in 2018 to develop the real time strategy game *[War Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_Party_(video_game)&action=edit&redlink=1)* that got released on Steam, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch in 2019.[2]

In 2020 the company launched the hidden object game named 'Hidden Through Time'.[3]
