Sarbakan Inc.

Sarbakan Inc. is a Canadian game development studio founded in 1998 in Quebec City. Its work spans arcade software, mobile applications, casual games and web-based entertainment, combining game design and programming with art, animation and cross-platform engineering. The studio develops original games and adapts licensed entertainment properties for interactive platforms.

From web games to mobile development

During its early years, Sarbakan developed web and Flash games, including episodic series such as Good Night Mr. Snoozleberg, Arcane: Online Mystery Serial and Steppenwolf: The X-Creatures Project. Its entertainment relationships included Warner Bros., Disney Interactive, Nickelodeon and Microsoft.

Around 2010, the studio expanded its focus toward downloadable console games and mobile applications for iOS and Android. Its portfolio includes Lazy Raiders, published by Microsoft Game Studios, and mobile projects such as Scooby-Doo: Mystery Cases, Thomas & Friends: Adventures! and Ever After High: Baby Dragons. Sarbakan also co-developed Where's My Water? with Disney Interactive Studios and contributed mobile development or adaptation work to titles including Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, Battle Islands, Family Feud and Boggle.

Arcade software and integrated development

Adrenaline Amusements acquired Sarbakan in May 2013. Within that relationship, Sarbakan serves as a dedicated game design and software development studio for coin-operated amusement machines and motion simulators, connecting its digital game experience with arcade hardware integration.

Arcade collaborations include Need for Speed Heat: Takedown with Electronic Arts and Adrenaline Amusements, Rabbids & Ladders using Ubisoft's license, and Jetpack Joyride Arcade with Halfbrick Studios and Adrenaline Amusements. Its licensed arcade work also includes adaptations of Hasbro's Hungry Hungry Hippos.

The studio's services cover full-cycle design and programming, arcade software engineering, mobile co-development, porting and live operations support. Its production capabilities include concept art, 2D and 3D modeling, animation, visual effects and quality assurance, supporting projects across mobile, web, console and arcade platforms.
