About the studio

An independent game studio building strategy, culture, and legacy into play.

Da Mystro Gamings is an independent game studio based in Silver Spring, Maryland, dedicated to creating strategy, educational, and culturally inspired games that bring people together.

What we believe

Games can do more than entertain.

They can teach, challenge, preserve culture, and create meaningful experiences for players around the world. Founded by Yohanes Hailegeberel, Da Mystro Gamings was created with a simple vision: build original games that combine strategic gameplay with authentic storytelling and long-term innovation.

Our work

From competitive cards to educational play and original worlds.

Our projects range from competitive card games and educational experiences to original books and interactive worlds inspired by Ethiopian history and culture. Although we are an early-stage studio, our goal reaches far beyond launching a single title. We are building a lasting entertainment company that develops games, educational experiences, and original intellectual property for players worldwide.
