The story

Kiloo was founded in 2000, in a small apartment in Aarhus, Denmark, as a two-person company. In 2002, the partnership dissolved and Kiloo changed into a private company. In the same year, Kiloo won the Nokia Mobile Challenge in the games category ahead of 500 competing companies, with their game Popstar, built on a Tamagotchi-like concept of managing the career and basic needs of an upcoming pop music star.

Kiloo later entered an agreement with THQ Wireless to develop the game Worms for mobile. KILOO also cooperated with ITE on the development and distribution of mobile content based on the TV and game character Hugo. By 2004, the Hugo games had been bought by 1 million people.

Between 2006 and 2009, Kiloo had the exclusive mobile rights for the Lego brand worldwide. In 2007, Kiloo broke into Børsen's "Fast Track 100", which placed it in the league of Denmark's fastest growing private companies. In the same year, Kiloo acquired the exclusive rights for Whac-a-Mole worldwide with reference to developing and selling Whac-a-Mole mobile content. In 2008, Kiloo raised capital from Danish VC FirmaInvest for further growth.

In 2008, Kiloo started developing mobile applications alongside game development. These include: Issuu Mobile, a magazine reader for iPhone; JokeToons, an animated videocontent for iPhone; and games licensed from Wham-O. In 2009, Kiloo licensed the full suite of Wham-O rights for mobile (HackySack, SuperBall, Frisbee and Hula Hoop), which so far has resulted in Frisbee Forever and Frisbee Forever 2. In 2010, Kiloo Games announced a new original IP called Zoonies - Escape from Makatu for Nintendo DSIWare. It was sponsored by the New Danish Screen. In 2011, Kiloo released Frisbee Forever and BulletTime HD. In 2012, the endless running game Subway Surfers was released in co-production with Sybo Games, and Kiloo continued the series with Frisbee Forever 2.

In early 2020, Kiloo stopped working on Subway Surfers. In June 2023, Kiloo had laid off its staff and closed doors.
