About Ace Games
Founded in Istanbul in 2020, Ace Games is an independent mobile game developer and publisher focused on casual and hybrid-casual experiences. The studio creates and self-publishes proprietary games for worldwide mobile audiences, combining accessible mechanics with deeper progression, narrative, and decoration systems.
Its portfolio spans early hyper-casual releases through longer-lived puzzle and adventure games. Early titles include Serial Burglar, Prison Life!, and Mix and Drink, the latter reaching the number-one overall position on the United States iOS App Store in 2021. The studio’s flagship title, Fiona's Farm, combines blast and match-3 puzzle play with story quests and farm-restoration meta-gameplay.
More recent work includes Cluedo Chase, known as Clue Chase in North America: an officially licensed mobile detective game based on Hasbro’s CLUE property that combines dice mechanics and case-solving deduction. Ace Games has also developed Mystery Trail, a story-driven mystery puzzle adventure.
Development and publishing capabilities
Ace Games manages the full lifecycle of its games internally, from early concept development through publishing and live operations. Its supported capabilities include:
- Mobile game design, prototyping, and Unity-based client development
- Server engineering and cloud infrastructure
- 2D concept art, UI/UX design, 2D Spine animation, and visual-effects asset optimization
- Free-to-play economy design, monetization, live operations, and product analytics
- Performance marketing and mobile user acquisition
The company’s design approach centers on pairing casual puzzle, board, dice, and simulation mechanics with narrative progression and renovation-oriented meta layers. Its games are distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play for global mobile audiences.
A growing mobile-games portfolio
Ace Games’ work reflects a progression from fast, approachable mobile concepts toward puzzle adventures and licensed entertainment experiences designed for ongoing live-service operation. The studio continues to develop mobile titles across casual puzzle, narrative adventure, and board-game-inspired formats.
