Gram Games

Gram Games is a mobile game developer and publisher focused on casual, puzzle and merge-driven experiences for global audiences. Founded in Istanbul in late 2012, the studio built early momentum with minimalist puzzle games before expanding its portfolio into live-service, free-to-play titles.

Its breakout game, 1010!, launched in 2014 and was followed by titles including Merged!, Six!, Bounzy!, and Merge Dragons!. Launched in 2017, Merge Dragons! helped establish the modern merge-puzzle subgenre and remains a central live-operated franchise. The studio has also released Merge Town!, Merge Farm!, Merge Gems!, Paint Tower!, 1010! Color, Merge Magic!, 1010! World, Robi: Cosmic Savior, and Railroad Gangs.

Development focus

Gram Games provides full-cycle mobile game development, combining game-system and economy design with live operations, analytics, publishing and user acquisition. Its capabilities include:

• Casual and puzzle-game development
• Merge mechanics and free-to-play game design
• Rapid game prototyping
• LiveOps, monetization and in-game economy management
• User acquisition and mobile publishing
• Unity 3D development, visual effects and technical art

The company expanded to London in 2016 as part of a move toward in-app-purchase-driven live-service games, complementing its original Istanbul production base. It continues to operate across these two studio hubs on live games and new puzzle and casual projects.

Gram Games was acquired by Zynga in 2018. Zynga became part of Take-Two Interactive Software in 2022; Gram Games remains active as a game-studio label within that corporate group.
