Game developer and publisher Voodoo announced the acquisition of Tarboosh Games. The studios had previously worked on joint projects, so the decision to acquire was not a surprise. The amount of the deal was not disclosed.

Tarboosh Games was founded in January 2015. The studio prioritized mobile game development but, over time, has expanded into other markets: Amazon, Steam, Oculus Home, PC and Mac.

The transformation of the Tarboosh Games shows what great teams can achieve, regardless of size. Passion for the cause, the right strategic vision, and the courage to keep trying where others have failed are the hallmarks of a successful team.
