Berlin’s TreasureHunt raises $6 million for mobile game studio

Some people think that the mobile games are in a phase of maturity and consolidation. The folks at TreasureHunt certainly don’t share that view.

Berlin-based TreasureHunt is announcing today it has raised $6 million to promote its new mobile game Pet Paradise and expand its team. German online gaming company The Gauselmann Group led the round, and private angel investors provided the rest of the money. It shows that Berlin has become a hotbed for mobile games, with companies such as Wooga, Klang, Studio 49, 231Play, and DecaGames.
