'SMiniz' Key Visual
Kakao Games has officially launched its latest mobile title, “SMiniz,” on February 25, 2026. This new casual match-3 puzzle game is based on the intellectual property of SM Entertainment and features miniature versions of popular SM artists, known as “Miniz.” Players navigate through various puzzles alongside their favorite characters, immersing themselves in a vibrant gaming experience.
The game is available globally and supports five languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Following a successful closed beta test last December, “SMiniz” garnered positive reviews for its engaging gameplay and integration of SM Entertainment’s rich content. The game includes collectible photocard elements that resonate with fandom culture, as well as customizable features like “Photo Deco” and “My Room,” allowing players to tailor their experiences.
Kakao Games has generated excitement around “SMiniz” through promotional events, including a roulette giveaway featuring exclusive photocard sets. These promotions were linked to the SMTOWN concert in Fukuoka, enhancing the game’s visibility among fans.
In celebration of the launch, players can participate in an in-game event to obtain special unreleased Artist Photocards. Additionally, until March 10, users who download the game and complete specific missions will receive exclusive “SMiniz” merchandise as part of an offline event at the SM Kwangya Store.
As a subsidiary of Kakao, Kakao Games specializes in developing and publishing a diverse range of gaming titles across various platforms. Under the leadership of CEO Sang-Woo Han, the company has made significant strides since its KOSDAQ listing in September 2020. With successful titles such as “Odin: Valhalla Rising” and “Eversoul,” Kakao Games continues to expand its portfolio and explore new opportunities in the evolving gaming landscape.
The launch of “SMiniz” exemplifies Kakao Games’ commitment to delivering innovative gaming experiences that resonate with fans of all ages, leveraging the popularity of SM Entertainment’s artists and their extensive fan base.
