About Reworks
Reworks is a Helsinki-based mobile game studio focused on design entertainment, combining lifestyle content with interactive customization and social gaming. Founded in 2018, the company develops and maintains Redecor – Home Design Game, its flagship interior design title. Its work brings together mobile game development, photorealistic 3D environments and ongoing content production for players interested in home decoration.
Design as interactive entertainment
Redecor blends a home design application with the structure of a mobile game. Players customize interior scenes using realistic textures, colors and furnishings, participate in design challenges, and vote on other players’ creations. The experience centers on room styling and creative choices, with seasonal challenges and in-app purchases supporting its continuing operation.
The game launched globally in April 2020 after an extended iOS soft launch. It is available through mobile app stores and on additional platforms, including PC and Amazon. By 2021, it had become the second highest-grossing design entertainment application worldwide by in-app purchase revenue.
Development and ongoing production
The studio’s capabilities span application and game design, custom asset modeling, real-time rendering and mobile live operations. Its production work includes generating new lifestyle scenes and customizable digital assets, supporting a game that receives continuing challenges and content rather than relying solely on its initial release. Community participation and design voting are integral parts of that experience.
Playtika acquired an initial 80% stake in Reworks in August 2021. Reworks now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary within Playtika’s broader mobile gaming business, while retaining its Finnish legal entity. Development, live operations and technical support for Redecor continue under the group’s multi-studio structure.
More about Reworks
Founders and team history
Reworks was founded by Ilkka Teppo, Aaro Väänänen, Jarno Heikkinen, Jarno Fabritius and Miika Fabritius. The founding team previously worked together at Sumoing, where they created the coloring application Recolor. That application predates Reworks and belongs to the team's earlier work. Reporting published in June 2025 stated that all five founders had left the company.
Proprietary production technology
The studio developed the REPLAY 3D Engine and Content Platform to support photorealistic mobile customization games. The system enabled rapid daily production of interior scenes, connecting rendering technology with the recurring content needs of its design gameplay.
Early investment
In March 2019, Reworks announced $1.5 million in pre-seed funding from Play Ventures, Big Bets and Business Finland. A further €4 million funding round led by EQT Ventures was announced in April 2020 alongside the global launch of its flagship game.
