While other digital game companies have had rocky growth, Turkey’s Peak Games has had a remarkable run in the past three years. The mobile, social, and online game publisher has more than 11.8 million daily active players, and it dominates the markets for such titles in Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa.

That regional audience is so big that Peak Games has become one of the world’s biggest social-and-mobile game companies. Peak has done that by tailoring content to players in the Middle East, with titles such as Okey, an online version of a traditional board game that is popular in the region.
