Riyadh-based Takahouse raised $1.5 million to accelerate new games and products after its first title, WhistGame, reached more than 140,000 users.

Takahouse has raised $1.5 million from Saudi investment firm Impact46 to expand development of mobile games and interactive products. Founded in 2018, the Riyadh company focuses on games that combine entertainment with social interaction and wants to grow into a regional developer and publisher.

Its first release, the social card title WhistGame, launched in 2021 and has attracted more than 140,000 users, including more than 100,000 Google Play downloads. The round adds to a growing pool of Saudi games capital supporting locally based teams and gives Takahouse resources to turn one validated product into a broader portfolio.
