About MegaZebra
MegaZebra is an independent game developer and publisher founded in 2008, with its headquarters in Munich and a regional production studio in Montreal. It develops, self-publishes and operates free-to-play games for mobile devices and social web platforms, combining casual puzzle design with longer-running game franchises.
The company established its business in social network gaming before expanding across iOS and Android. Its work spans Mahjong Solitaire, solitaire card adventures, social simulation and arcade puzzle games, alongside episodic experiences adapted from licensed entertainment properties. Development capabilities cover game design, 2D and 3D art, programming and quality assurance, supported by in-house publishing, community management and ongoing live operations.
From social games to mobile franchises
Mahjong Trails, launched on Facebook in late 2010, became the studio’s flagship title. Its subsequent presence across web and mobile platforms reflects MegaZebra’s approach to maintaining established games while developing additional titles. The company continues to support the franchise alongside newer mobile releases.
The studio’s portfolio also includes Solitaire Castle and Solitaire Chronicles, which apply its casual game experience to card-based adventures. Other releases explore social simulation, slots and match puzzle formats, demonstrating a range of work within accessible, free-to-play entertainment.
MegaZebra has also developed licensed narrative games. Released in 2017, Desperate Housewives: The Game is an episodic mystery and mobile RPG conceived as a prequel to the television series and developed under license from ABC Studios. The project extends the company’s work beyond original casual games into established entertainment worlds.
More recent development includes Boom Bricks: Brick Breaker, which combines brick-breaking gameplay with RPG elements, hero collection and player-versus-player battles. Together, these projects illustrate a production focus that connects familiar puzzle and arcade mechanics with progression systems, narrative design and continuing game updates.
