Skill, Not Slot Machines
Wins come from playing well, not spending. No pay-to-win mechanics, no loot boxes, no psychological manipulation.
Get Your Brain in the Game
We build clever, competitive, welcoming mobile games — the kind you play to win, not to spend. No ads. No sign-up walls. No dark patterns. Ever.
Built for players, not metrics.
Brainy Bunch Games is an independent UK studio building thoughtful multiplayer experiences for the App Store and Google Play. We focus on word games, puzzles, and social competition — the kind you pick up for a quick round and still find yourself thinking about an hour later.
Our first title, Wordy Bunch™, launches worldwide on iOS and Android. Every game we ship will be free to play — with no advertising, no required account, and no harvesting of personal data. We’d rather charge for genuinely good cosmetics than monetise your attention.
Wins come from playing well, not spending. No pay-to-win mechanics, no loot boxes, no psychological manipulation.
Anonymous-first identities, friendly defaults, and built-in tools to mute or report — good games make good communities.
Plain-English policies. Minimal data collected. Zero third-party advertising or analytics SDKs baked into our games.
We ship fewer games, finished. Tight controls, genuine responsiveness, no filler content stretching a thin idea thin.
One game, done properly.
A real-time multiplayer word game built for competitive play. Drag across a grid of letters to spell words faster than your opponent — every mode, from a quick ranked match to a 150+ level story Campaign, runs on the same satisfying, skill-first engine.
Hi, I'm Jaf.
Brainy Bunch Games is a one-person studio. I'm the engineer, the designer, the QA, and the legal department. I started building Wordy Bunch because most modern mobile word games are stuffed with ads, soft paywalls, and tricks designed to keep you opening the app at 3am. I wanted to make the version that just respects you.
It's all self-funded — no investors to please, no metrics to game. If you ever have feedback, complaints, or just want to say hi, email me. It really does come straight to me.
Press, partnerships, player support, or just to say hello — we read every email personally.
