The studio
We build worlds people grow up with.
Eliduck Entertainment is an independent games and IP studio spun off from Volckano in 2026. It builds original interactive titles, AI-assisted film and animation, and the character IP behind them — a catalogue that runs from a six-year-old's first tap to the family card table.
The name traces back to Eliduck Island, the mobile game where players summoned objects with their voice to solve puzzles. That title launched an IP that has since grown into a catalogue of games, a school programme, and now a studio of its own.
It is not a children's studio, though. The same team that builds a six-year-old's first adventure also builds Sheng Ji 升级 and Guan Dan 掼蛋 — the partnership card games Chinese families have been arguing over for generations. Social games for a table, not gambling ones.
The studio sits inside a bigger machine. Volckano remains the parent consulting and AI transformation brand, and its AI production capability powers what Eliduck makes — while the games, the characters and the creative direction belong here.

How we got here
From one duck to a studio
2022
Eliduck Island ships
A mobile puzzle game where players summon objects with their voice. It goes on to see over 250,000 objects created and 150,000 puzzles solved, and raises more than $300,000.
2022–23
The arcade titles
Tank Battle TD and Balloon Trip ship on iOS, Android and the web — smaller, faster games that broaden the catalogue past a single flagship.
2024–25
Into the classroom
The studio starts testing with children, parents and educators directly, and the Kiddoer academy grows out of that work — teaching kids to build their own games, then publishing what they make.
2026
