About us

Built in Nairobi, for Kenya.

Shanz Game is a skill-based competitive gaming platform where Kenyans compete in real games, for real KES, with real rules of fair play.

Our mission

Turn the hours people already spend on their phones into something rewarding, fair, and social. Real skill, real matches, real cash-outs to M-Pesa — no luck-based gambling disguised as a game.

How we're different

  • Every match is player-versus-player, paired by ELO.
  • Every move is validated server-side. No client-side exploits.
  • Every cash-out hits M-Pesa in under two minutes on the free tier.
  • Every dispute is reviewed by a human referee.

The team

A small crew of Kenyan engineers, product designers, and compliance nerds. We build in public. Ping us on hello@shanz.ke if you want to chat.
