From a school project to 200k downloads: the Mukiz case!
When Guillaume Bouxin developed Mukiz as his final year project at Epitech Lille two years ago, he certainly didn't expect his idea to go beyond his circle of friends! Building on its local success, he's now ready to conquer the general public! And it's already a hit, with over 200,000 downloads across Android and iOS.

Updated May 21, 2025: Mukiz has now reached over 500,000 downloads. A symbolic milestone for the team, who are energized by this rapid growth.
Future ambitions have already been announced, with new game modes in development, the acquisition of a larger catalogue and the conquest of international markets.
Spotlight on a project incubated at Plaine Images: Mukiz
Mukiz is a music quiz game, available on mobile and web browsers. The app offers several modes: alone, to win trophies and unlock themed playlists; with friends or in a larger group, with Mukiz on one screen and phones to respond to suggestions; and also with hundreds of players connected around the world, for live games.
On the BtoB side, Mukiz facilitates the organization of interactive and engaging blind tests for corporate events, whether in person or remotely, ideal for team building or a team day.
Mukiz, the Blind Test app
Several game modes are also available: classic, multiple choice, or elimination. The app uses voice recognition and therefore gets as close as possible to the original blind test experience, with added technology!
For Guillaume Bouxin, who has been leading the project for two years and has been incubated at Plaine Images for a few months, there is no shortage of topics to develop the application and accelerate its business development: in December, a monthly subscription was introduced, giving access to the full range of features for players (solo or group) and a recurring source of income for the project.
Another area of focus: developing the social aspect of the game, with asynchronous game management, so that groups can play games at different times.
Guillaume is currently seeking to establish partnerships with music streaming platforms or labels, in order to build an ever more varied catalogue!
