About Caipirinha Games
Caipirinha Games is an independent German game development studio based in Altenholz, near Kiel in Schleswig-Holstein. Established in March 2003, the company develops interactive entertainment for computers, mobile devices and home consoles. Its work combines occupational simulations with family games, animal-care adventures and children's edutainment. Across more than two decades of production, the studio has completed more than 70 gaming projects.
Simulations and family entertainment
The studio's simulation portfolio explores practical jobs, vehicles and professional environments. Its games cover road maintenance, municipal work, policing, forklift operation, aviation and emergency medicine. Titles such as Road Maintenance Simulator, Forklift Simulator, Island Flight Simulator and Coastline Flight Simulator reflect this focus on specialized activities and working environments.
Family and animal-focused games form a second substantial part of its output. These include My Little Riding Champion, The Unicorn Princess, Animal Doctor and Sophia's Animal Clinic – Mission Wildlife Park. This strand builds on the company's earlier work in 3D children's games and edutainment, while broadening its portfolio beyond professional and vehicle simulations.
Development and publishing partnerships
Caipirinha Games provides full-cycle game development, from game design and 3D art through implementation, middleware integration, optimization and console adaptation. Its development capabilities include Unreal Engine 5 and Unity 3D, with multiplatform work spanning PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox systems. Porting and optimization sit alongside original game production within its services.
The studio works with publishers and development partners, including Aerosoft and Joindots. Its recent release sequence illustrates the continued balance between simulation and family entertainment: Road Maintenance Simulator 2: Winter Services arrived in December 2024, followed by Sophia's Animal Clinic – Mission Wildlife Park in December 2025 and Emergency Room Simulator in August 2026. These projects extend the studio's established interests in occupational gameplay and animal care across contemporary computer and console platforms.
