Mobile developer Cypher Games has secured $10 million in its latest funding round.

According to the company, the move marks a significant milestone as it works on its “very first match-3 title to disrupt the mobile gaming industry.”

The round was led by The Raine Group and attracted investments from Play Ventures, 500 Global, Riccardo Zacconi (founder of King), Humam Sakhnini (former vice-chairman of Activision Blizzard), and Akin Babayigit (co-founder of Tripledot).

Cypher Games co-founder and CEO, Anil Simsek, said: “We are thrilled to partner with our new investors as we continue to drive the growth of our company.

“We’re focused on bringing the trends that players are asking for. Like Disney, we aim for top-tier quality, but we go beyond that by incorporating social, interactive entertainment into casual mobile games.

“By introducing unique character attributes and offering more personalisation, we create a deeper emotional connection with players.”
