Overview

Qwacks is a Saudi Arabia-based game technology company developing infrastructure and live operations tools for game studios. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Riyadh, the startup is building a unified technology layer designed to streamline the game development lifecycle, from backend services and playtesting to market intelligence.

The company's platform consists of three core products: Flock, a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform for online and multiplayer games; Protokite, an AI-assisted playtesting system; and DataDuck, a market intelligence tool. Together, these services aim to help developers reduce production friction, shorten development cycles, and make more informed decisions throughout production and live operations.

In 2025, Qwacks raised $480,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by Merak Capital. The investment is being used to expand the company's technology stack, strengthen platform integrations, scale operations, and support more studios across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.
