This funding injection is pivotal for the studio’s flagship project, Eggscape, a mixed-reality game that has garnered acclaim at prestigious events and earned festival awards. The Venture Reality Fund and strategic angel investor Lautaro Brunatti contributed significantly to the seed funding round.
Founded by the creative minds behind 3DAR, an esteemed animation studio based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eggscape Entertainment is led by co-founders German Heller, Federico Heller, and Jorge Tereso. Renowned for their immersive VR experiences, including the viral music video “EARTH” for Little Dicky, the team is committed to introducing a new era of mixed-reality games.

To ensure limitless replayability, Eggscape offers a world-building tool allowing players to create and share new content within the game.
German Heller, CEO of Eggscape Entertainment, emphasized the significance of mixed reality in delivering fun, social gaming experiences that transcend conventional boundaries. The game immerses players in a reality-altering layer where imagination knows no bounds, fostering online or side-by-side gameplay without disconnecting from the surrounding world.
Andrew Sheppard, a partner at Transcend Fund, expressed enthusiasm for supporting Eggscape Entertainment, believing that Eggscape is not merely a standalone game but a pioneering force shaping the future of social gameplay in mixed reality. The fusion of mixed reality, high-quality animation, and social interactions in Eggscape delivers a novel gaming experience.
