Hyper-casual leader Voodoo backs Teskin, a world-class developer of match 3 and puzzle games on mobile.

Iliya and Lior have built a strong, high performing, and driven team with an impressive track record of successful match 3 and puzzle games. Together, we’re taking another significant step towards our mission to entertain the world.”
Lior Gluskin and Iliya Tesler, Teskin Co-founders, added: “We share the same vision as Voodoo; creating high quality games and entertaining players. With Voodoo’s investment we will be able to reach new high records by expanding our team and fulfilling our initial goal of creating leading mobile games that people will enjoy playing for years. We are excited to move forward and take Teskin to the next level.”
