Second Dinner – an award-winning game development studio behind the hit game MARVEL SNAP – recently announced a $100 million Series B investment led by industry titan Griffin Gaming Partners. This investment is Second Dinner’s latest step in making the world’s MOST FUN games.
Having already made a huge impact in the gaming industry with MARVEL SNAP, which boasts over 22 million downloads and over $200 million in revenue since launching in 2022, Second Dinner shows no signs of slowing down. Following its recent launch on Steam in August 2023, MARVEL SNAP’s gaming experience is now fully cross-platform – which marks a significant milestone in the studio’s journey.
Following the funding round, Second Dinner will continue to operate independently, with Griffin Gaming Partners and their original investor, NetEase, as minority investors.

“We’re humbled by the support players around the world continue to show MARVEL SNAP, and we are RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED to continue making it even better for YEARS to come. Most of Second Dinner is focused on MARVEL SNAP but we’ve also got a couple other things cookin’! And they’re super super fun. I put two ‘super’s because it’s possible they are too fun.”
