In June 2022, Marie Grace Irandukunda and her team launched Huuza Games, a company aimed at creating genuine connections among people and places through African-inspired interactive games. Huuza’s first game, Battle of Animals, is a card game that provides players with fun facts and information about different animal species.

The concept behind Huuza Games was born out of personal experience. As someone from a neighboring country, Irandukunda found it challenging to connect with her family and the culture of the place she used to live in. She quickly realized that this was a common problem in the Rwandan and wider African community, where connecting with someone from a different culture or exploring a new place can be challenging.

To address this issue, Irandukunda and her team created Huuza, a company dedicated to promoting African history and culture through interactive games. By leveraging the power of gaming, Huuza allows people to connect while having fun and learning about their culture.

Huuza Games’ dedication to African representation in the gaming industry makes it unique. Western culture has long influenced the gaming industry, and there has been a lack of African history and cultural documentation. Huuza Games aims to fill this gap by creating games inspired by African culture and history.

Battle of Animals is a perfect example of how Huuza Games uses gaming to connect people and promote African culture. The game provides players with interesting facts about different animal species, including their habitats, diet, and behavior. Not only is the game fun and entertaining, but it also provides players with an opportunity to learn about the natural world.

Huuza Games is still in its early stages, but its mission to connect people through gaming is sure to resonate with many. With its unique approach to gaming and dedication to African culture and history, Huuza Games is poised to impact the gaming industry significantly and beyond. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
