Google building social gaming startup Arcade
Arcade's first application will reportedly have elements of trivia gaming and is set to launch later this year

MANILA, Philippines – Google is building a social gaming startup called Arcade, Bloomberg reported Thursday, May 3.

The social gaming startup is headed and co-founded by 21-year-old Michael Sayman, who used to intern with Facebook before moving to Google.

Arcade’s first application will reportedly have elements of trivia gaming and is set to launch later this year. 

A Google spokesperson confirmed the report, adding it was “focused on mobile gaming with friends.” The spokesperson added, “It’s a very early experiment so there aren’t many details to share right now.”

Bloomberg added that Arcade will not tie into existing social networks, and will instead use a user’s phone number to create accounts. – Rappler.com
