About PinPin Team
PinPin Team is a French video game developer and digital gamification agency founded in 2008 and based in Le Bouscat, in the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Its work combines commercial mobile games with interactive projects for businesses, public institutions and healthcare organisations. The company began in Paris with online multiplayer casual games and educational virtual worlds, including Simply-Land and Playpop.
Mobile games and interactive experiences
Operating under its internal PinpinStudio banner, the company develops casual, hyper-casual and hybrid-casual games, alongside action, simulation and roguelike titles. Its catalogue includes Pyro Jump, Vikings: an Archer's Journey, Golf Orbit, CornHole League, Barber Shop Hair Cut Game, Gas Station: Junkyard Tycoon and Metamon Island. The supplied research reports more than 100 million downloads across over 19 published mobile titles.
The agency side of the business applies game design to advertising, education, training and audience engagement. Projects range from promotional browser games and digital escape games to interactive learning platforms and therapeutic mobile applications. Examples include B05 The Endless Game for Leapmotor International / Stellantis, Captain Cloud for Air France, interactive lottery games for La Française des Jeux, and cultural projects for the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and Institut du Monde Arabe. Its healthcare work includes Care Island and WeCare, developed with regional health organisations and Centre Hospitalier La Chartreuse.
Development and browser adaptation
PinPin Team provides project framing, gamification strategy, game design, UX/UI, art production, development and deployment for iOS, Android and WebGL. Its capabilities also encompass connected-device integration and AR/VR experiences.
Through its internal Pinpin Zap division, the company adapts Unity mobile games for browser distribution. This work includes build and memory optimisation, legacy Unity upgrades, control remapping and platform SDK integration. Browser adaptations include Kick the Buddy and Tank Stars.
Azur Games acquired a 30% minority stake in August 2022. The partnership provides marketing, publishing and user-acquisition support while PinPin Team remains independently managed.

Production methods
Pinpin Zap uses proprietary optimisation pipelines. Its published service claims include build sizes up to ten times smaller and approximately halved RAM use, targeting less than 512 MB. These are company-described capabilities rather than guarantees for every project.

Distribution collaboration
A partnership with StoreRider supports browser distribution through platforms including Poki, CrazyGames, GameDistribution, MSN and YouTube Playables.
