Our Story
From Kolibri to BLN
Kolibri Games was founded in 2016 in a student flat in Karlsruhe by Daniel, Janosch and Oliver.
Two years later, Kolibri Games moved from Karlsruhe to Berlin, growing to over 100 employees without any external funding.
Kolibri's biggest hit, Idle Miner Tycoon, has over 100M downloads and remains one of the top idle games in the market.
Kolibri demonstrated continuous innovation in the idle game genre, publishing other games like Idle Restaurant Tycoon and Idle Firefighter Tycoon.
In January 2020, the founders sold the majority of their company to Ubisoft. They left Kolibri Games in April 2021 to found BLN Capital.
