History
Game Insight was founded in 2009. That year, the studio launched its first game, Resort World, for the social network VKontakte (the studio later released the game on Facebook in 2010). The game was so successful that it was later ported to mobile platforms. Paradise Island for Android was the top-grossing game on Google Play for more than 26 straight weeks.[2] In 2011, Game Insight’s game roster reached 50 million MAU.[3]
Management Team

Chief Executive Officer
Alisa Chumachenko is the original founder of Game Insight, and had
previously worked at Astrum Online Entertainment as Vice President of
Marketing and Advertising. She left Astrum in 2009 to found Game

Russian PC and social game publisher Nival, but left that company in
2010 to join Game Insight. Her duties include overseeing game

well as at his own studio. In 2009, his studio became a part of Game
