MAG Interactive, the developer behind the popular puzzle game Ruzzle, has received $6 million in a funding round led by Nokia Growth Partners.

The investment, which was revealed by MAG Interactive CEO David Hasselberg during the Slush 2013 start-up conference in Helsinki, will go some way to securing the future of a company that's looking for more success in the mobile gaming space.
