From an idea in a sketchbook to the global stage

Last week, our game Azooma Escape stood proudly at Dubai Games Expo — not just as a demo, but as a statement of what Saudi indie games can be.

The energy from players was electric. We were blown away by the enthusiasm, the smiles, and the curiosity, and we knew we were onto something special.

But here’s the real headline:

🏆 3rd Place in The Very Big Indie Pitch

🎖 Honorary Nomination at Pitch Play

These weren’t just awards, they were validation. A signal that our vision, our humour, our reverse-stealth chaos, and escaping overwhelming parties and overly generous hosts resonate with all.

To everyone who played, laughed, gave feedback, and believed in us.

Thank you.

And to every game dev out there wondering if their quirky idea has a place in the world: it does.

This is only the beginning.

Let’s put MENA on the map, one game at a time.
