In an effort to recognize inventive gaming ideas and draw the attention of leading studios within the industry, Voodoo, the global leader in mobile game publishing based on download numbers, has revealed the commencement of a fresh winter game development competition scheduled to begin on November 15, 2023.
Mobile game studios and talent face off in the 2023 winter game competition by Voodoo
In this distinctive event, top studios and talents within the mobile gaming industry will have the chance to evaluate their skills against one another and present their creative abilities. The competition will center primarily on the Puzzle genre, a category in which Voodoo has already enjoyed remarkable triumphs with games such as Collect Em All! and Block Jam 3D.
Voodoo’s game competition is a great opportunity for studios worldwide to demonstrate their capabilities and connect with a major mobile gaming publisher. It’s also an unique chance to be onboarded within Voodoo’s ecosystem and product vision with the aim to replicate huge hit games such as Collect Em All or the more recent Block Jam 3D

This genre presents considerable prospects for engaging players and generating revenue, and it has been a central area of emphasis for Voodoo since the company shifted its focus to Hybrid Casual gaming in 2022. In the latest game development competition organized by Voodoo, innovation, and creativity will be incentivized as participating studios are urged to create novel concepts that have never been explored on mobile devices before.
The 2023 game development competition by Voodoo will feature amazing rewards
Voodoo is set to reward excellence with three enticing prizes:
- $2 Million First Prize: the first game that becomes a hit within one year of the end of the competition will be eligible to receive up to two million USD, provided it meets the competition’s conditions.
- Best Prototype Prize: The game displaying the strongest metrics (retention and marketability) at the end of the competition will be eligible to receive a prize of $10,000.
- Innovation & Creativity Prize: The game that Voodoo considers the most innovative puzzle game submitted and tested will be eligible to receive a prize of $10,000.
The competition, scheduled to commence on November 15th, 2023, will begin with a LinkedIn Live event hosted on Voodoo’s LinkedIn page on November 8th, 2023. Submissions for games will be accepted until 11:59 PM CEST on February 15th, 2024.
