About TreesPlease Games
TreesPlease Games is an independent British mobile game developer and publisher headquartered in London. Founded in late 2019, the studio creates casual games that connect player progress with real-world environmental and animal welfare outcomes. Its work combines narrative-driven puzzle design with conservation partnerships, bringing its “Games for Good” approach to mass-market entertainment.
The studio develops and publishes games for iOS and Android, with capabilities spanning free-to-play development, live operations and environmental impact partnership integration. Its approach embeds conservation activity into everyday gameplay rather than relying on purely educational experiences.
Games with real-world impact
Longleaf Valley, released in 2023, is the studio’s flagship narrative merge-2 puzzle adventure. Players restore a damaged national park and rehabilitate wildlife habitats while earning in-game tree tokens. Through partnerships with reforestation organizations including Eden: People + Planet and Veritree, token milestones translate into trees planted on the ground.
The report credits this model with funding millions of trees across Madagascar, Kenya, Haiti and Nepal. Reforestation is therefore part of the game’s continuing progression system, connecting the restoration of its fictional landscape with conservation work beyond the screen.
The studio subsequently extended its impact framework through Paws & Pastries: Merge Café, a casual merge and café management game. Its animal welfare initiatives support pet adoption, shelter operations, rescue transport and veterinary care, broadening the company’s work beyond tree planting.
TreesPlease Games also participates in environmental campaigns through its live games. Its collaborations include wildlife conservation organization Sea Shepherd and the UNEP-backed Playing for the Planet Green Game Jam. These activities connect its ongoing game operations with conservation partners and public environmental initiatives.
