About the company
Dream Games creates free-to-play mobile puzzle games with a focus on long-lasting, high-quality experiences. The studio, based in Istanbul, gained prominence with Royal Match, a match-3 game where players solve puzzles to decorate a king’s castle, and later Royal Kingdom, expanding the same universe and mechanics. The games are monetized primarily through in-app purchases, while Royal Match notably avoids in-game ads to ensure uninterrupted gameplay. The company differentiates itself with polished visuals, engaging storytelling and decorating mechanics, a strong emphasis on user experience, and a team with deep Puzzle game expertise from Peak Games. The overarching goal is to captivate a global audience with compelling puzzle experiences, sustain player engagement, and grow a scalable, enduring mobile gaming IP through ongoing titles and potential expansions.
