Dream Games has closed a $155M Series B round co-led by Index Ventures and Makers Fund, with participation from Balderton Capital, IVP and Kora.
This round is the largest Series B financing in Turkey and comes on the heels of the massive success of Dream’s debut game Royal Match, reaching top-20 grossing games in the US, UK, and Germany in only three months.Balderton first invested in Dream Games at Seed in November 2019, and again in March of this year.
The first time we met Soner and his cofounders in the Summer of 2019 for their pre-seed round, we immediately knew they were an incredibly special team. They are proving this with their incredibly polished first game Royal Match which is storming up the charts.

In Royal Match, King Robert needs help to restore the Royal Castle’s former glory. Users break the obstacles and combine power-ups to beat joyful and challenging levels.
Royal Match became an instant daily hobby for its more than six million monthly active users. Blending popular art styles and a delightful progression system with accessible match-3 play, the game appeals to a global audience that loves to play games daily on their phones as part of their lifestyle.
