League of Geeks was founded by Ty Carey, Blake Mizzi, Trent Kusters and Jacek Tuschewski in January 2011.

Developed by about 15 people, Armello was described by the team as a "natively-digital card and board game set in a fairy-tale animal kingdom".

[5] Armello was released in 2015 to generally positive reviews, though its commercial performance was a disappointment for the studio, selling only a quarter of what League of Geeks had expected.

[6] In 2020, Private Division announced that it had signed a contract with League of Geeks for the development of a new game.

[8] Following Blackcat's cancellation, the studio then concurrently worked on two titles: a remake of Solium Infernum, and simulation game Jumplight Odyssey.
