Sarbakan is a Canadian video game studio based in Quebec City, Quebec.[1] Ten years after its foundation in 1998 by Guy Boucher, Sarbakan had delivered over 600 games, mostly web-based, and started shifting its focus from flash game development to console digital download gaming.[2][3]

In 2010, Sarbakan began collaborating with Disney Interactive Studios and other studios to make games for iOS and Android platforms. Where's My Water won multiple awards including 'Game of the Year' by Pocket Gamer,[4] and in 2012 the iPhone "Apple Design Award" during WWDC. In 2013 the company would be acquired by Adrenaline Amusements.[5]
