"Gaming is a fast-growing and exciting sector in tech, enveloping several of the emerging trends in our industry like AR, VR, and in Mythical Games' case, NFTs," said Kara Lowe, CEO at the KC Tech Council. "It's great news for Kansas City's tech industry to have an innovative leader in this sector plant roots here. It's also great news for Mythical Games, who will have a thriving, talented tech community waiting to welcome them."

With over 75 open positions throughout the company, Mythical Games is rapidly expanding, recently partnering with the NFL to introduce a new NFT-based video game titled "NFL Rivals." What started as a shared belief in blockchain technology has grown into a widely successful business model, allowing Mythical Games to turn prototypes into reality. Its goal is to create world-class products that drive consumer adoption of distributed ledger technology through games.
