Maysalward Information

Maysalward was founded in 2003 in Amman, Jordan, and is the Middle East’s first mobile game developer. It played an early role in introducing culturally relevant Arabic games to global app stores, evolving from Java-based titles to iOS and Android games with multiplayer, live operations, and cross-platform features. The company is well known for digitizing regional favorites such as Balot, Trix, Dominoes, and Carrom, combining traditional gameplay with modern production and monetization models. The company follows a glocalization strategy, creating globally competitive games adapted to regional preferences. Through culturalization, localization, and data-driven market insight, Maysalward drives engagement across the MENA region and international markets. It also supports industry growth through Capsule, a training program focused on game design, programming, art, and commercialization, and through The Space, an incubation platform that provides mentorship, technical guidance, business modeling, and go-to-market support. In addition to developing original IPs, Maysalward partners with international brands to build games based on established IPs. After more than two decades of continuous development, the company remains focused on positioning the MENA region as a meaningful contributor to the global gaming industry by connecting culture, technology, entrepreneurship, and digital growth.
