PlaySimple Games is a Bangalore-based mobile gaming studio behind word games including WordTrip and Crossword Jam, running 30+ live free-to-play titles in 110+ countries.
PlaySimple Games builds free-to-play mobile word games - WordTrip, Crossword Jam, WordTrek, and Daily Themed Crossword among them - and operates more than 30 live titles played in over 110 countries. Founded in Bangalore in 2014 by former Zynga executives Siddharth Jain, Preeti Reddy, and Suraj Nalin, the studio employs more than 350 people and was acquired by Modern Times Group in 2021 for $360 million. That footprint is the security context: consumer mobile clients shipped globally, live-operated game services, and a free-to-play model where player accounts and session data sit squarely on the attack surface.
The technical domains are mobile game development, casual puzzle and word game design, and free-to-play operations across a portfolio of more than 30 concurrent titles. With players in more than 110 countries and teams in North America, Europe, and Asia alongside the Bangalore headquarters, the work spans internationally distributed player data and a title portfolio that has to be maintained in parallel rather than in sequence.
PlaySimple describes its focus as simple, accessible games built for casual play during breaks - a design goal that implies high-volume, low-friction consumer traffic and long-lived titles under continuous live operation. The studio has been described as one of India's fastest-growing mobile gaming companies, and its word games franchise is the core of its portfolio.
