The Love for the Puzzle
When Mohammed Tauheed was eleven years old, a national Sudoku competition made headlines across India. The winner had solved the puzzle in 10 minutes and 54 seconds, and the newspaper published the exact puzzle for readers to try at home. Tauheed's father handed him the paper and a stopwatch.
Cliko Games is a gift to that kid. And to every kid, in every country, who feels the same way.
It's More Personal Than You Think
Born in the beautiful city of Mysuru, India — Tauheed grew up playing Monopoly with family, chess (taught by his father) with friends, cards with anyone who'd deal a hand. He entered math competitions, puzzle tournaments, and Sudoku challenges, and spent more hours than he'd admit on video games. When he wasn't at a table or a screen, he was on a cricket pitch, a football field, or in a boxing ring.
He's also a builder. Before Cliko Games, Tauheed built tech products across multiple industries — because he loved designing systems and building products. Building a gaming studio was never the plan. But when he moved to Toronto, he looked for the simple browser games he grew up playing — and couldn't find them. Everything was buried behind app store installs, loot boxes, forced ads, and pay-to-skip mechanics.
So he started building them himself.
And being a fan of Real Madrid and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, those elements can be seen in the design of the website.

Cliko Games was established out of a simple dream: to build games and puzzles that enhance thinking, sharpen problem-solving, and develop cognitive skills — not games that exploit dopamine loops for profit. The game should never stop.
Every game in our catalog is designed to make you a little sharper than you were yesterday. Puzzles that train pattern recognition. Card games that teach strategic thinking. Math games that build mental arithmetic. Word games that stretch vocabulary. Even our arcade games demand split-second decisions that improve reaction time and visual processing.
This isn't a gaming company that happens to be educational. It's a belief that great games and cognitive development aren't opposites — they're the same thing.
What We Built
100+ free browser games across 12 genres: Puzzle, Card, Arcade, Math, Word, Strategy, Dice, Pattern, Platform, Party, Sports, and Global Games from 15+ countries. Every game is a single HTML file — lightweight, fast, and playable on any device without installing anything.
Every game ships with 7 difficulty levels (Beginner through Cyborg), a daily challenge that's the same for every player worldwide, and shareable challenge links so you can compete head-to-head with friends. We add new games every week, and enhance the old ones as well.
Our Global Games collection brings traditional card games from Lebanon, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Ecuador, and beyond to the browser — many for the first time in English. Built with original rules, not simplified versions.
The Small Guy with a Mighty Heart
Cliko Games is one person against an industry of well-funded studios backed by millions in venture capital. There's no marketing department, no growth team, no investors demanding aggressive monetization. Just a solo founder in Toronto, building games between cricket matches and boxing sessions.
The game you play on day one is the same game you play on day one thousand. Because we are not pushed by profits, but with the love for the game.
If you enjoy what we're building and want to support an indie studio doing things differently — a Patreon page is coming soon. In the meantime, the best way to support Cliko Games is to play a game and challenge a friend.
