Loot Crate

Loot Crate is a subscription box service established in 2012 which provides monthly boxes of geek- and gaming-related merchandise.

History
Loot Crate was founded in 2012 by Chris Davis and Matthew Arevalo, who aimed to create a "comic-con in a box". By 2014 the company had over 200,000 subscribers in 10 countries.

In 2016, the company was ranked #1 on Inc's Fastest Growing Private Companies and on the Deloitte Fast 500 North America list.

Crates
Loot Crate's themes change monthly and can be anything from 'Invasion' to 'Anti-Hero' to 'Future'. Loot Crate teams up with companies such as DC, Marvel, and Nintendo to create a large array of merchandise in every crate.

One-off crates with particular themes have been released, such as for Fallout 4 and Mass Effect.

Loot Crate also operates a Loot Anime box with anime-related items. In January 2016 Loot Crate announced a Loot Gaming subscription option with boxes containing video game-related content. The company says that the gaming themed boxes will likely lead to more game-specific cases like the ones for Mass Effect and Fallout 4.

Loot Crate also operated a Loot Pets box that followed the same monthly themes as the regular Loot Crate, but all the items were intended for cats, dogs or other pets. The concept ended on September 2017.

Sponsorship
In mid-2014, Loot Crate officially sponsored American eSports team OpTic Gaming.

In 2016, Loot Crate officially sponsored the Dungeons & Dragons web series program Critical Role.
