Top 10 Vietnam Puzzle Games?

Gökhan Üzmez

We listed top 10 Vietnam puzzle games. 🇻🇳
And summarized results with 5 take aways
With covering 2 “stealth” game developers!

While the industry talks about NCsoft -Lihuhu,
I teamed up with Do Thai Hoa,
To get a puzzle analysis as accurate as possible,
With the boost of local intelligence!

4 common mechanics can be found
within the Vietnamese top puzzle games:
Block puzzle, 3D sorting, match 3 and screw puzzle

Here are our takeaways:

1.⁠ ⁠10 out of the top 30 puzzle games globally,
< by IAP revenue>, comes from Vietnam!

2.⁠ ⁠Vietnam is no longer following behind
but in the top leading studios now.

3.⁠ ⁠Fast iteration with Strong User Acquisition
but still low originality.

4.⁠ ⁠IAP pressure, difficulty curves,
and emotional pacing are tightly integrated

5.⁠ ⁠Strong live-ops, cost efficiency,
and production discipline is prioritized.

Also Hoa’s thoughts on the Lihuhu Deal

“Lihuhu didn’t break the M&A deadlock by luck, they spent years paying the price in systems, people, and discipline before the market noticed. The real question is: will the next “top studio” do the same, or just hope?”

We will be watching the Vietnam Market
