Saudi game maker Takahouse raises $1.5 million to build beyond one game

Saudi gaming startup Takahouse has raised $1.5 million from investment firm Impact46 to develop more mobile games and interactive products. The Riyadh-based company is best known for WhistGame, a social card game that lets players combine competition with conversation. That gives the funding a clear purpose: moving Takahouse from a studio built around a single title toward a broader portfolio that can keep players engaged in different ways. For a young game company, that shift means building and supporting more than one experience instead of relying on a single title.
