Match-3 team at Turkey’s Dream Games raises $155M at $1B valuation

Turkey has another unicorn on its hands. Dream Games has raised $155 million at a valuation of $1 billion thanks to its focus on match-3 casual mobile games such as Royal Match.

The Istanbul-based Dream Games has closed a second institutional round co-led by Index Ventures and Makers Fund. Other investors included Balderton Capital, IVP, and Kora. Royal Match has more than six million monthly active users. That’s a lot, but the confidence that investors have in Dream Games is still pretty astounding, even in gaming’s current investment boom.
