Tatem Games

What Tatem Games does

Tatem Games is a mobile game developer and publisher operating as Tatem Games Ltd., a private limited company registered in Nicosia, Cyprus, with headquarters cited in Newport Beach, California and development studios in Kyiv, Ukraine. The company builds free-to-play titles for iOS and Android across multiple genres, including 2D casual and puzzle games (Ball Sort Puzzle, Block King, Card Match), lifestyle/management simulations (My Gym: Fitness Studio Manager, Dream Gym), and 3D hunting simulations (the Carnivores series, Carnivores: Ice Age), plus arcade titles such as Hit The Roof. Its stated scale is 15 games released worldwide with over 500 million combined downloads and 20+ years of industry experience.

The company's technology centers on cross-platform mobile game development supporting both iOS and Android ecosystems. Its portfolio spans lightweight casual puzzle mechanics emphasizing ease of use (color-sorting and shape-manipulation gameplay) and more technically involved 3D hunting simulations featuring full dinosaur models, realistic animal behavior, and immersive audio. Games are distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store and Google Play, with those platforms also serving as third-party payment processors for orders and refunds.

Tatem Games operates a product-led growth model built on free-to-play distribution. Games are free to download, with revenue generated through in-app purchases of virtual currency and items and through in-game advertising delivered via third-party advertising partners. The customer base is horizontal and consumer-facing—casual mobile gamers seeking relaxation and brain exercise, hunting-simulation enthusiasts, and simulation/management game fans—reached globally through app-store optimization, organic social media, and the corporate website. The team is small (11–50 employees) with a described flat organizational structure. Leadership is headed by founder and CEO Igor Karavaev.
