Tile Park: Cozy Puzzles is a calm triple-tile matching game set in a park theme. Players tap colourful tiles on a layered board to move them into a holding bar of seven slots, clearing any set of three matching icons and trying to empty the board before the bar fills up. The game focuses on gentle, unhurried play. It is developed by Funvent Studios, a Dubai-based studio named by PocketGamer.biz among the top MENA game makers of 2025.
Tiledom is a relaxing tile-matching puzzle that reworks Mahjong-style play: instead of pairs, players collect three identical tiles. Tapping a tile moves it into a seven-slot tray, matching sets of three disappear, and the level is lost if the tray fills with unmatched tiles, so choosing the order of moves matters. It is developed by Funvent Studios, which PocketGamer.biz lists among the top MENA game makers of 2025 as a Dubai-based studio.
Arkan: Dawn of Knights combines match-3 puzzle battles with 4X kingdom building. After a villain shatters the key of time, heroes from different eras and myths arrive in the player's world, and the player summons them from key shards to fight monsters in puzzle-driven combat while expanding a kingdom on a shared map. It was released for iOS in 2023. It is published by Babil Games LLC, a company PocketGamer.biz lists as based in Dubai, UAE.

Tricky Blocks - Block Puzzle is a physics-based stacking game for mobile.

A shadow preview shows valid placements, there is no timer, and three lives are allowed before the run ends. It is made by Blue Bag Studios, the brand of Blue Bag Gaming and Publishing FZCO, a mobile game company in Dubai, UAE.
Only If is a surreal first-person puzzle adventure from Creability, an independent studio that was based in Dubai. The game plays with the idea of turning figures of speech into literal, walkable spaces, which gives its puzzles a dreamlike logic. Released for Windows, macOS and Linux, it is an early example of an indie PC game coming out of the United Arab Emirates.
