History
Eipix Entertainment entered the game development business as an indie company. Early projects included the sci-fi race and shooter Pyroblazer and eco-themed puzzle adventure Ziro.

After several independent projects, Eipix began working as an outsourcing company, porting and making games for other developers.

In 2011, Eipix Entertainment went back to developing its own games, having shifted its focus towards casual games, mainly hidden object puzzle adventure (HOPA) titles, published through Big Fish Games.

Starting with Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen Collector's Edition in 2012, Eipix has developed more than 80 HOPA titles. The company is currently developing sequels to hidden-object puzzle game franchises Mystery Case Files, Dark Parables, and Hidden Expedition, in addition to its original HOPA series as Final Cut, Dead Reckoning and Vermillion Watch

Eipix has also been entrusted with developing further sequels of the contemporary text-based game Lifeline, starting with Lifeline: Whiteout, also released by Big Fish Games.

Parallel to its work in the HOPA genre, Eipix also develops and publishes a variety of games''. Free the Witch'', the first Eipix-developed free-to-play game, was released in 2016 through Big Fish Games. Later in the same year, Eipix also became a self-publishing company, independently releasing its own games for a variety of mobile platforms. The company's first independent release was the free-to-play game Hoppy Land, published on the iTunes app store on August 31, 2016, followed by Nom Nom on October 4, 2016, and Spiny Core on December 16, 2016.

At the same time, Eipix began developing VR games. Althora, a VR puzzle adventure, was released on May 11, 2017, representing the first Eipix-developed VR game.

Path of Discovery: Europa, Eipix's first voice-controlled game intended for Amazon Alexa devices, was released on October 6, 2017.

In June 2018, Eipix announced a new core game called Walk the Fort developed by one of their divisions.

In December 2019, Eipix was acquired by publisher Playrix.
