Our Story

Pixel Wizards is an Indie studio based in Paris and L.A. created by veterans of the game industry.

Chessaria is the studio’s debut project and is born from our wish to bring the fun & sexiness of video games to the world of chess. Chess is amazing and we created Chessaria with the desire to make it even better & to allow a new generation of gamers to discover it!

To make our dream come true, Chessaria went through a successful Kickstarter campaign that reached 107% of its original goal. Chessaria is supported by the CNC (french agency that supports culture, movies & video games) and obtained the distribution validation by the Steam community (Greenlight) in 10 days only, proving the gamers’ keen interest for the concept.

It took us over 2 years and over 20 people collaborated to its creation.

With +15h of story-based tactical quests, Chessaria brings the Chess experience to a whole new level : We have developed a unique propriety A.I. with PhD Enrique Acosta. It is one of the most powerful engines available (2800 ELO force) and the only one capable of playing  asymmetrical war games missions: Land domination, Assassination missions, VIP exfiltration, Battle Royal, etc.
