Cypher Games develops casual mobile games that blend traditional match-3 mechanics with dice-based luck elements and social, city-building metagames. Its first title, Match Squad, is nearing a U.S. launch and is reported to deliver strong early player engagement and best-in-class early- to mid-term retention. The company emphasizes rapid production cycles, premium art, and storytelling, and it is actively hiring additional talent in Turkey to scale development. Proceeds from recent funding will finalize Match Squad’s launch and kick-start creative work on a second game within two years. Founded by CEO Anil Simsek, Cypher has assembled backing from prominent industry veterans, including leaders from Discord, King, and Tripledot. Financially, the studio has secured $40 million to date—$10 million in seed financing completed in September 2024 and a new $30 million Series A. This capital base provides runway for product launches, talent expansion, and continued innovation in the casual mobile genre.
