Solitaire Game Report Card, Post Candy Crush Solitaire Release

Candy Crush Solitaire grabbed 5% of the genre's revenue, Sorcery School’s had hit $17.21 RpD. 325#

Hey Friends, Greetings from Bangalore 💗

Candy Crush Solitaire is having a moment.
In the last 30 days, it pulled in $1.3M in revenue and over 800K downloads, capturing ~5% of the total revenue share in the solitaire genre.

But the bigger story?
The genre is growing, from $23M in revenue (Dec 2024) to $26M (Mar 2025).

Playtika and Sorcery School are leading the charge — both pushing the average revenue per download (RpD) higher across the board.

Notably, Sorcery School outperforms everyone in lifetime RpD: $17.21.
• Playtika’s Solitaire Grand Harvest: $14.60
• Scopely’s Tiki TriPeaks: $14.07
• King’s Candy Crush Solitaire: just $0.49

This gap raises a key question: Are we underestimating the monetization ceiling in casual card games when done right?

Is casual solitaire space showing blue spots for growth?
