Top Casual Game Genres


What is the most popular casual game genre? When I would ask you this question 3 years ago you would most certainly reply with 'match-3' or 'bejeweled'. Boy, that where some crazy times. But even now, 9 year after the post apocalyptic Y2K bugs we see the following trends.

This is the top 3

1. Hidden Object (Mystery P.I. - The NY Fortune, Liong - The lost amulets)
2. Sim (Build-a-lot 3: Passport to Europe, Totem Tribe)
3. Match-3 (Jewel Quest 3, Call of Atlantis)

After that we see game genres like Word, Time Management, Puzzle Bobble mechanic, Strategy)
