"We saw steady results for our third quarter, which is historically our slowest quarter and the slowest for the mobile game industry as a whole. This quarter we also continued to see the global reopening amplify traditional seasonality and Apple's ATT introduction still working its way through the mobile marketing ecosystem. In response to this transitory period, we maintained our reduced marketing investments in our games to more measured levels until the final month of Q3, as we started to increase user acquisition investments when we started to see positive signs of ecosystem adaption working their way through the industry, while continuing to focus resources on our ramping pipeline of Q4 game launches," said Darcy Taylor , CEO of LEAF.

The game has averaged 150,000 daily active users since launch, the highest in our portfolio of games, and has reached the top 100 grossing games in 40 countries on iOS. One week after launching RuPaul's Drag Race Superstar , we launched B-Real Monster Buds with B-Real of Cypress Hill which will be followed in December by a game based on the critically-acclaimed, Emmy® award-winning comedy, The Office , titled The Office: Somehow We Manage and 4 additional titles currently in soft launch," continued Mr. Taylor.
