We’re thrilled to welcome Episode as a launch partner at Jest.
Episode is part of Pocket Gems, a mobile entertainment company backed by Tencent and Sequoia Capital. Pocket Gems has generated over $1 billion in bookings and surpassed 500 million downloads across its portfolio of games - a testament to its ability to build products that resonate at massive scale.
Launched in 2014, Episode pioneered the mobile interactive storytelling genre, redefining how audiences engage with stories on their phones. Instead of simply consuming content, players step into it - making choices, shaping narratives, and creating deeply personal experiences.
The impact has been extraordinary:
- 12+ billion Episodes played
- 200,000+ stories created
- 25+ million registered storytellers
Episode isn’t just a storytelling platform - it’s a global creative ecosystem. Millions of players and creators come together to craft, share, and experience interactive stories across romance, drama, fantasy, and beyond.
At Jest, we’re excited to support a platform operating at this scale and cultural impact. Episode’s combination of user-generated content, rich narrative experiences, and a highly engaged community represents the kind of ambitious, category-defining product we’re proud to partner with.
We’re looking forward to working closely with the Episode and Pocket Gems teams as they continue to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
Welcome to Jest, Episode! 🚀
