Created in 1990 and with more than nine million games sold worldwide (as of Jan. 2010) through prestigious partners (Ubisoft, Disney, Electronic Arts…), Lexis Numérique is one of the biggest independent games design studios in Europe. Lexis Numérique is also an interactive communication agency specialized in serious gaming and interactive design.
Game Design Studio
Lexis Numérique has been number one in the sales charts several times with its children games (“Imagine Fashion Designer”(aka “Léa Passion Mode”), “Horsez” (aka “Alexandra Ledermann”, …) and has often been praised by the American and European press as being one of the most creative studios in the world.
Lexis Numérique also develops games for a wider public. “Missing: since January” (aka “In Memoriam”), a cyber thriller for ages 16+ has been considered a real milestone in computer gaming and unanimously acclaimed. “The Experiment” (aka “Experience 112″), winner of the Grand Prix 2007 at France’s computer games convention was the logical continuity of a series of innovative games which have encountered real commercial success throughout the world.
Lexis Numérique is today developing top of the range games for a wide audience on PS3, X360 as well as PC online and iPhone games.
Interactive Communication Agency
Since 1990, Lexis Numérique has worked for key accounts from various origins: retail (La Grande Récré…), bank & insurance (Maaf, Société Générale, La Banque Postale, Groupama, Pfizer…), consumer goods (McDonald’s, Sara Lee/Brossard, Henkel, Cidil…), medical labs (Bayer, Aztra-Zeneca…), Industry (Total, Comiris/EADS, Norauto…), Publishing & Entertainment (Disneyland Resort Paris, Disney Intertactive, Dargaud Editions, Gallimard,…).
Lexis Numérique is specializes in web design, videos, digital signage and 3D. Lexis is also a precursor in serious gaming and advergaming and was one of the very first companies to introduce them in France. Lexis hosts a dedicated seminar at the Benchmark Group.
Lexis Numérique works either directly with the client or in partnership with its agency (DDB Entertainment, Euro RSCG, Boz, Katana, Tasse de Thé,…)
Lexis Numérique holds significant shares in two sister companies
Les Tanukis (France) is dedicated in online, mobile and TV productions. Les Tanukis run DatingSim.com, a game portal dedicated to young adults.
VectorCell (France) is Paul Cuisset’s game design studio. Paul is an industry veteran who designed his first game in 1986. At the head of mythic French studio Delphine Software in the 90’s, Paul has created world hits such as “Flashback” or the “Moto Racer” series. VectorCell is specialized in high-end nextgen productions.
Our mission is to create both innovating and marketable concepts and bring top-quality games to a wide audience. This is done either with Intellectual Properties we create or on a work-for-hire basis with major publishers. To support this vision, Lexis has always considered production, management and marketing as important as creation.
In addition, we believe in talent and try to recruit and keep the best possible artists, engineers and managers, often trained in the most prestigious French Universities and Graduate Schools. Since its creation in 1990 the employment turnover rate has always been very low, which creates a truly solid company culture and enables us to create very distinctive games.
A family-owned company, Lexis Numérique was created in 1990 by Eric Viennot, Marie Viennot-Sanchis and José Sanchis. They still own 80% of the shares.
