What we make
Party games, word games, riddles, trivia and creative apps — all written in Arabic from scratch, never translated from a foreign game. Our content draws on the proverbs, dialects, landmarks, celebrities and everyday life that players across the region know and love.
How we build
- Content first. Before any code come the words: dictionaries with hundreds of thousands of entries, hundreds of riddles, and crossword grids designed by hand.
- Real Arabic. Arabic grammar — hamzas, conjugations, every kind of plural — is part of the game logic, not a layer on top.
- Made for gatherings. Many of our games are designed to be played together, around one phone, by all ages.
- Built to last. Some of our apps are still being updated more than a decade after launch.
- Free for everyone. Every TapNext app is free to download on the App Store.
