“With Comunix, the idea is to unite people, everywhere”

“Comunix is a platform that unites people around virtual rooms while you can see and talk with friends while you’re playing,” explained the company’s co-founder and CEO, Or Ben Shimon. “You can meet others and play with your friends and hang out while you see them and talk to them. It’s a whole new experience that we’re bringing to the market.”

Comunix’s first product, Poker Face, is a social poker app. According to Ben Shimon, the community that is fostered online often transcends into physical friendships and romances.

“The idea is to unite people, everywhere,” he continued. “While they can see and talk with each other, actually they started to hang out and decided to be friends and decided to take it to a new level. People started to invite one another to birthdays outside the game, in real life, for weddings. We have a couple getting married through that. They met on the app and are getting married after.”

Today, Comunix is operating in 45 countries including the U.S, UK, Germany, France, and Israel - that’s a lot of potential romances in the online gaming community.
