Freelance Mobile Game Developer Needed – Crossword / Word Puzzle Game
We are looking for an experienced freelance mobile game developer to build a high-quality Crossword / Word Puzzle game for iOS and Android.
Our target quality level is similar to well-polished products from companies such as Easybrain in terms of user experience, performance, responsiveness, and overall product quality.
We are not looking to copy an existing game. The goal is to create an original product with our own codebase, design, content system, and long-term scalable architecture.
Project Scope
The game should include:
- Crossword puzzle engine
- Multiple difficulty levels
- Daily crossword puzzles
- Level / progression system
- Hint system
- Letter and word validation
- Automatic game saving
- User progress tracking
- Daily streak system
- Rewards / achievements
- Offline gameplay
- Push notifications
- Firebase Analytics
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Apple / Google sign-in
- Ad monetization
- Rewarded Ads
- Interstitial Ads
- In-App Purchases
- Remove Ads / Premium option
- App Store and Google Play publishing support
Admin Panel / Content Management
We would prefer a simple backend or admin panel that allows us to manage puzzle content without releasing a new version of the app.
Ideally, the system should allow us to:
- Add new crossword puzzles
- Add and edit clues and answers
- Set difficulty levels
- Schedule daily puzzles
- Manage puzzle categories
- View basic user and gameplay statistics
Technology
We are open to recommendations.
Possible technologies include:
- Unity
- Flutter
- React Native
- Native iOS / Android
The most important factors are:
- Performance
- Maintainability
- Clean architecture
- Scalability
- Ease of adding new features and games in the future
Who We Are Looking For
We prefer developers who have:
- Strong mobile game development experience
- Published games or apps on the App Store / Google Play
- Experience with puzzle, word, crossword, Sudoku, or casual games
- Strong understanding of mobile UI/UX
- Firebase experience
- Mobile analytics experience
- Experience with AdMob, AppLovin, Unity Ads, or similar ad networks
- In-App Purchase experience
- Clean and maintainable coding standards
Senior-level developers are strongly preferred.
When Applying, Please Include
- Links to mobile games or apps you have previously developed
- App Store / Google Play links if available
- Any previous experience with Crossword, Sudoku, Word Games, or Puzzle Games
- The technology you recommend for this project and why
- Estimated development timeline
- Fixed-price estimate or expected project budget
- Whether you work individually or as part of a team
- Whether you can provide ongoing maintenance and development after launch
Important
We are not looking for someone who will simply purchase and reskin an existing template.
We need a developer who can build a solid product architecture and potentially continue working with us long term.
If the first project is successful, we plan to develop additional mobile games such as:
- Sudoku
- Word Search
- Number Puzzle
- Logic Puzzle
- Other casual puzzle games
Therefore, this project has the potential to become a long-term development partnership involving multiple mobile games.
