    Our Story

    Nix Hydra was first founded in 2012 by Lina Chen and Naomi Ladizinsky. Here's exactly how it happened:

    It was a cold, moonless October night. Naomi and Lina were driving down a remote country lane when suddenly a smallish to medium sized dragon flew right into the road. They couldn't stop in time, it was a direct collision.

    "Why??" they cried, "Why a dragon?? We love dragons!"
    "You have slain me." the dragon gasped, "Now you inherit my dragon horde."
    "Do you have any last wishes?" Naomi asked.
    "Well," the dragon started, "I always did want to make mobile games..."
    "Don't worry, dragon." Lina replied. "We're on it."
    And that's how they started Nix Hydra, the only mobile entertainment company funded entirely by a dragon horde.
