Tamatem

About

Tamatem is the leading mobile game publisher in the MENA region, dedicated to bringing world-class gaming experiences to Arabic-speaking audiences. Founded in 2013, the company identified a massive gap in the market: less than 1% of online content was in Arabic, and there were virtually no mobile games available in the local language. With a population of 400 million Arabic speakers hungry for locally relevant content, Tamatem became the first-ever Arabic mobile games publisher in the region, partnering with international developers to localize and publish games tailored specifically for Arabic culture and language.

With over 50 released titles and 100 million downloads, Tamatem's expertise in localization and publishing has positioned it as the undisputed leader in Arabic mobile gaming. Their diverse portfolio spans cards, strategy, MMORPG, trivia, and story-narrative games, featuring popular titles like VIP Baloot (the most popular card game in the Arab market), Battle of Kings, and Fashion Queen. The company has raised significant funding including a $6M Series A in 2018 and $11M Series B in 2021, demonstrating investor confidence in their mission. Beyond publishing, Tamatem fosters a vibrant workplace culture emphasizing creativity, collaboration, diversity, continuous learning, and work-life balance, making it both a gaming powerhouse and an employer of choice in the region.
