The studio
Underground by design.
Underground Games is an independent studio. We take games with staying power and invent new ways to play them — new gameplay, new stories, and firsts nobody else shipped.
We brought real-time co-op to online jigsaw, so two people can solve one puzzle together, live. We built a nine-city story campaign into Hong Kong mahjong, with a coach who teaches you the game as you play. Every title pushes its form somewhere new — and looks stunning doing it. We're small on purpose and independent on principle: we answer to the game and the player, not a trend or a boardroom, which is exactly why we can take the swings we do. It's also why our titles look nothing alike — a neon-lit Hong Kong mahjong parlor and a quiet globe of art and places — and both feel like they mean it.
How we work
- Invent, don't imitate. Start from a game people love, then add something that's never been there — new play, new stories, new ways to share it.
- Stunning, always. If it isn't beautiful and a joy to touch, it isn't done.
- No house style. Each title is its own animal. We'd rather make things that feel unmistakable than on-brand.
- Independent on principle. No dark patterns, no boardroom notes. We answer to the game and the player.
What we're making
Mahjong Underground is authentic Hong Kong mahjong — real faan scoring, a coach that teaches you as you play, and a nine-city story campaign. Unfolded Globe is a jigsaw of art, places, and culture from around the world — solve solo, or together in real time. A third title is in development. See them all on the games page.
