The Perfect Gift Awards 2025 | 9 In an age dominated by screens and fast-paced entertainment, strategic card games are quietly reshaping how we connect – offering players the thrill of tactical thinking combined with the warmth of face-toface interaction. Amidst this rising wave, Kelyf Games delivers a fresh twist: character-driven gameplay set in dungeon-style mazes, blending fantasy immersion with competitive fun. We spoke to Sharony Purryag, Director of Kelyf Games and Nick Ray, Game Designer and Illustrator of MazeM below, as the company is recognised in The Perfect Gift Awards 2025. 䉥獴⁅浥牧楮朠 䍡r搠c慭攠 䍯浰慮y′〲P 阠i慵物瑩畳 strategically use Weapons, Enchantments, Traps, and Potions to outwit their opponents, claim their Treasure, and become the Maze Master! “Embarking on any project is always challenging and exciting,” Nick Ray told us of MazeM’s inception. “The open fields that lay in front of the mind, waiting to be sowed with the seeds of creativity and ingenuity, which will ultimately result in a blooming flower, are what makes creating a product such as a card game worth it. Even though you may find yourself not entirely happy with the end result, there is always opportunity during the conception stage to return to the drawing board – where the magic really happens.” For Kelyf Games, that magic is creating the perfect gift – one that sparks a fire, setting ablaze the senses and imagination. The company has designed MazeM to do just that, providing players with a unique sense of whimsy and magic, every time they pick up their cards. Regardless of their age, background, or skills, each and every player of MazeM steps into a magical world of endless possibilities, one beyond imagination. Moving forward, Kelyf Games hopes to share this magic with the world. Since its inception, the company has strived to achieve international reach through partnerships with overseas retailers and is now working to make this dream a reality. Additionally, Kelyf Games will also be turning its sights inwards to local players, with plans to attend future Cosmau Con events that bring together artists, sellers, gameplayers, and cosplay contestants – providing a meeting point for game and anime enthusiasts alike. “The card game and anime industry has experienced significant growth over the years, especially on an international level,” Sharony explained. “Our aim is to make our products known and market them worldwide. Being named Mauritius’s Best Emerging Card Game Company 2025 is indeed a matter of pride and an international recognition of our creativity and originality. We hope that this award will open new doors of opportunities and fruitful collaboration with other industry players.” “We also have several projects in the pipeline, the next one being a manga for card game enthusiasts, that we hope will be welcomed and loved by our fans and the public,” Sharony added. “All we can say for now is to check our website and our socials Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to know more about this exciting project, and to keep abreast of the latest news on Kelyf Games.” Contact: Sharony Purryag Company: Kelyf Games Web Address: https://kelyfgames.com ased in Mauritius and operating since 2023, Kelyf Games specialises in the creation of card games, anime books, and stories for children and teenagers with the aim to bring joy and entertainment to individuals, households, and friend-groups around the world.

The project saw the light of day in July 2023 and was picked up by key local game shops and bookstores across the island, as well as being sold on Kelyf Games’ online platform for international reach. The game is designed for two to four players aged six and above, with a playing time of 15-20 minutes. Requiring skill, strategy, and cunning, MazeM is inspired by the epic battles that occur in mazes and dungeons across the fantasy genre.
