The Classic & Puzzle team, based in Barcelona, drives Homa’s mobile gaming portfolio forward, creating and scaling classic puzzle games like Solitaire (LINK) and Spider Solitaire (LINK). This diverse and ambitious team delivers top-tier mobile games in a highly competitive space.

Classic puzzle games are a staple in the gaming world due to their broad appeal, simple gameplay, and ability to sustain long-term player engagement. Achieving success in this genre requires agility, accountability, and a global mindset—qualities embodied by the team at Homa.

Small team, big impact: Lean and Agile

The Classic & Puzzle team operates with a lean structure, giving them full ownership of their games and the autonomy to make impactful decisions. The team thrives on collaboration, senior expertise, and clear development paths, creating an environment of continuous growth.

I’ve never worked somewhere with such a strong balance between autonomy and support. At Homa, you have the freedom to push boundaries creatively, but you’re never on your own. There’s always someone ready to jump in and offer a fresh perspective. Also, you’re constantly learning, and it’s awesome to see your ideas come to life in a game enjoyed by millions.

Diverse Voices, Shared Vision

With team members hailing from Brazil, Turkey, Spain, France or Argentina, this group embodies the diversity that drives Homa’s success.

It’s amazing to work with people who bring different strengths and cultural insights to the table. It’s not just about solving technical challenges; it’s about blending those diverse viewpoints to create games that resonate across the world.

Excellence in a Fast-Paced Market: constantly raising the bar

In an industry where success constantly evolves, the team continues to adapt and raise the standards. They continuously refine their games by introducing new features and updates, ensuring their products remain long-term engaging.

Their culture is grounded on ownership, autonomy, and the capability to overcome any challenges. For example, Unity developers in the team have full technical responsibility and autonomy over their own games from scratch until full launch. They are entrusted to perform their best independently while also having support from the rest of the team and the organization.

Working at Homa as a Unity developer means that you're not just coding; you're shaping the entire production cycle of the games, from planning to releases. Something I really appreciate is that we have full ownership over technical decisions, which is incredibly empowering. Plus, our leaders always listen to our proposals making the job rewarding and valuable.

Fail Fast, Succeed Faster

In addition, the team follows a fail fast approach ensuring they remain focused on delivering high-quality and engaging games by pivoting quickly when needed. If a game or feature shows signs of underperformance, they reassess, optimize, or shift focus to more promising projects.

Indecision is not part of our vocabulary. We choose the path of confidence & charge forward when we have built a case. Every move is backed by data, grounded in previous proven success. We also know when to let go and when to move to the next masterpiece.
