Daily Celebrity Crossword Developer PuzzleSocial Raises $3M in Series A Funding

Daily Celebrity Crossword developer PuzzleSocial has announced it has raised $3 million in Series A funding, in a round led by KiwiTech. The round also included new investments from all seed stage investors, including former HBO president Thayer Bigelow and Mark Wachen of Upstage Ventures, among others. According to the developer, the Daily Celebrity Crossword app is currently the No. 1 grossing digital crossword app, and mixes traditional crossword gameplay with social features for a modern approach to the puzzle genre.

Daily Celebrity Crossword features daily themes for its puzzles, like “Movie Monday,” which may see the puzzle’s longest answers relating to a current blockbuster in theaters.
