Why does a game you open to unwind leave you feeling even more drained? — Why We Created Quiga | Quiga

BRAND STORY · Why We Created Quiga

Why the game you opened to unwind left you more drained—and how that night led to a game platform with no ads, loot boxes, or hidden charges.

A man on a dark living-room sofa at 11 p.m., his face tired from the glow of his phone screen
11 p.m. A game opened to relax. Fifteen minutes later, all that remained were three ads and two payment prompts he had closed.
A recreated mobile game screen covered in ad pop-ups and payment prompts
(Screen recreation) What the screen looked like that night—ads and payment prompts came before the game.

11 p.m. After getting through the day, I gave myself the gift of one game.

Fifteen minutes later—I had watched three ads, closed two “Buy now or miss out!” pop-ups, and came up empty on a loot-box draw.

I opened a game to unwind, but it felt like I had worked another shift instead.

Quiga began that night.
The problem wasn’t the game. It was everything surrounding the game.


Sound familiar?

  • You opened a game to de-stress, only to end up doing unpaid ad-watching before closing it
  • You started a “free game,” only for your wallet to tire out before you did
  • You’ve covered a strange ad on your child’s game screen with your hand
  • You scrolled the app store for 30 minutes without knowing what to play, then fell asleep without playing anything
  • You keep every game muted because the loud sound effects feel awkward
  • You looked for a game to enjoy with family, friends, or a partner, only for everyone to end up staring at their own phone

If even one of these made you think, “That’s me”— Quiga was made for you.

So we took it all out

Attention-grabbing ads. Anxiety-inducing loot boxes. Payment prompts that sell worry.
Especially on a screen your child sees.
