1. Amirza

“Amirza” is developed by the Nardeban-e Andisheh-ye Farda Cultural and Artistic Institute, and Cafe Bazaar has placed it in the word and trivia category. Of the game's 2.2 million votes, nearly 2 million are five-star votes, and its average rating reaches 4.8. The game is free, and its revenue comes from in-app purchases. Its latest version was released in Shahrivar (August–September) 1405 (2026/27).

How do the most installed games earn revenue?

The most installed games on Cafe Bazaar share one feature. All of the store's 100 most installed games are free, and their revenue comes from other sources. According to the store's own labels, 27 of these 100 games have in-app purchases and 32 have advertising. Paid games are also rare across the store: of the nearly 22,000 games retrieved, only 171 games have a price.
