Career History
Trailmix Games is a London-based mobile games studio best known for its breakout hit Love and Pies, a narrative-driven merge game combining puzzle mechanics with storytelling and character development. The company was co-founded in 2017 by Carolin Krenzer and Tristan Clark, with a focus on creating uplifting, enduring games that emphasise warmth, inclusivity and emotional engagement.
Before founding Trailmix, Krenzer spent five years at King, where she helped expand the company’s global presence and went on to establish King’s London development studio. Her experience in building creative teams and scaling successful franchises has been central to shaping Trailmix’s collaborative culture and long-term vision. In 2022, Supercell acquired a majority stake in Trailmix, providing strategic backing while allowing the studio to maintain full creative independence.
About Trailmix Games
Founded in 2017, Trailmix Games has built a distinctive reputation for story-led, emotionally rich mobile games. Its debut title, Love and Pies, has been downloaded more than 7m times and earned strong retention figures, with early Day-30 retention rates above 20 percent. The game has been praised for its inclusive cast, character-driven storytelling and the depth it brings to the merge-puzzle genre.
Supercell’s 2022 investment gave the Finnish gaming group a majority stake in Trailmix, enabling the studio to expand development capacity and accelerate new projects. Trailmix continues to operate independently, focusing on building positive, player-first experiences that aim to stand out in an increasingly competitive global mobile gaming market.
