is a young startup company that developed Family Village. We have a dream that Family Village will become one of your favorite games on Facebook, leading you to an understanding and appreciation that we are all part of one great connected family.

Our first Funium game, Family Village, allows you to discover unknown ancestors and interesting facts about each one.

In Family Village, you’ll build out your actual family tree, and then immigrate those family members into a village you design. In your village, you assign your ancestors jobs to earn money for your town to grow. You can buy homes, cars, pets, and decorations from the time in which your ancestors lived. You can even buy monuments that show off your unique ancestral heritage.
