Among the 14 most recent disclosed gaming rounds in France, the largest disclosed amount is $14M for Powder (Series A) on 2021-02-09. The next-largest disclosed amounts cluster much closer together, with $12M at Noodle Cat Games (Series A) on 2023-10-20 and $11M at Tilak Healthcare (Series Unknown) on 2023-10-12; every other disclosed round shown is $7M or below (with the exception of $9M for New Tales on 2024-06-13).
Geographically, Paris, Ile-De-France dominates the list: 9 of 14 entries are based in Paris across years from 2020-07-05 (MCES) to the newest round on 2024-10-04 (Detective Box). Temporally, deals cluster in the middle of the window, with multiple 2023 rounds (e.g., Noodle Cat Games on 2023-10-20 at $12M; Darewise Entertainment on 2023-10-17 at $4M) and a smaller set in 2024 (Detective Box $2M on 2024-10-04; New Tales $9M on 2024-06-13). Stage reporting is uneven: 5 of 14 rows use “Series Unknown,” and 1 of 14 is explicitly “undisclosed.”

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this France gaming set, and how separated is it from the rest?
Powder’s $14M (Series A) on 2021-02-09 is the clear top disclosed amount, while the next-largest disclosed figures are $12M (Noodle Cat Games on 2023-10-20) and $11M (Tilak Healthcare on 2023-10-12). Everything else shown is $7M or below, making Powder’s round an outlier versus the rest of the disclosed amounts.
Is there a strong geographic concentration, or is the list evenly spread across French cities?
The concentration is high: 9 of 14 entries list Paris, Ile-De-France (e.g., Detective Box on 2024-10-04 at $2M; Powder on 2021-02-09 at $14M). Outside Paris, the remaining entries are spread across Toulouse (TavroxGames, undisclosed amount on 2023-12-04), Bordeaux (MetaEngine, $4M on 2022-03-04), Marseille (MCES, $3M on 2020-07-05), and one additional non-Paris row (Noodle Cat Games lists “Us, Picardie”).
Which entries fall closest to the most recent round date shown?
The most recent entry is Detective Box on 2024-10-04 with $2M. Within the immediately preceding 12 months window in the rows shown, New Tales closes on 2024-06-13 at $9M, while the next-most-recent disclosed amounts otherwise step back into 2023 (e.g., Noodle Cat Games $12M on 2023-10-20).
How does stage reporting look: does one stage dominate, or are many rounds unclassified?
“Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 14 rows (including Detective Box’s Series Unknown on 2024-10-04 and Tilak Healthcare’s on 2023-10-12). There is also 1 explicitly “undisclosed” amount (TavroxGames on 2023-12-04), so classification is incomplete across the set rather than dominated by a single named stage.
Are there noticeable date clusters in the 2023–2024 period?
2024 shows only two entries in the rows shown: New Tales ($9M) on 2024-06-13 and Detective Box ($2M) on 2024-10-04. By contrast, 2023 contains multiple late-year rounds in close succession, including Noodle Cat Games ($12M) on 2023-10-20, Darewise Entertainment ($4M) on 2023-10-17, Tilak Healthcare ($11M) on 2023-10-12, and SorareData ($2M) on 2023-09-07.
Which outlier amounts are worth flagging besides the largest round?
PopScreen Games is a low outlier on the disclosed side at $100K (Series A) on 2022-03-15, far below the surrounding $3M–$12M range seen elsewhere in the table. At the same time, the $12M–$9M band (Noodle Cat Games $12M on 2023-10-20 and New Tales $9M on 2024-06-13) sits well above the smaller disclosed rounds like Detective Box’s $2M (2024-10-04) and SorareData’s $2M (2023-09-07).
