New Kharkiv IT Cluster Member — CGG (Crab Guard Games)

October 12, 2026

CGG (Crab Guard Games), a full-cycle digital agency that creates custom digital products for businesses, has joined the Kharkiv IT Cluster community. Its solutions range from interactive campaigns and gamified experiences to corporate platforms and AI assistants.

Let’s take a closer look at the company, what it creates, and how it builds partnerships with clients.

About Crab Guard Games

CGG takes on challenges that cannot be solved with off-the-shelf solutions, creating products tailored to specific processes, audiences, or business models. From initial analysis and design to development, testing, launch, and ongoing support, the team can manage the entire product lifecycle.

Legally, CGG s.r.o. is a young Slovak company registered in Bratislava. However, its core team has more than 10 years of experience in IT and digital product development, with a significant part of the team originally from Kharkiv. Today, CGG works with international clients and is expanding its partnerships across Europe and the Gulf countries.

What Does CGG Create?

One of CGG’s key areas of expertise is interactive and gamified solutions. These are particularly valuable when simply telling people about a business is not enough: the goal is to engage audiences, educate and motivate users, or make their introduction to a brand or service more memorable.

What Are CGG’s Main Areas of Expertise?

• Interactive campaigns: Branded mini-games, challenges, and quizzes that engage audiences, introduce products, and generate leads.
• Loyalty mechanics: Reward and progression systems, collections, virtual companions, and content that unlocks as users progress.
• Exhibition and trade show solutions: Games and quizzes for touchscreen kiosks that attract visitors and help spark conversations about products.
• Learning and assessment platforms: LMS products, interactive learning modules and games, scenario-based onboarding, knowledge assessments, and progress tracking.
• AI assistants and automation: Website assistants, product consultants, knowledge-base bots, AI-powered search, and automated workflows.
• Digital platforms: Web applications, dashboards, admin panels, user roles, reporting tools, and integrations with existing systems.

The team has experience delivering projects for education, marketing and events, business services, and corporate platforms.

Own Product: Crabby Fishes

CGG also demonstrates its expertise through its own game, Crabby Fishes — a strategy game in which players must build defenses against waves of enemies. The team developed and released the game independently on gaming platforms. To date, the game has recorded nearly 20,000 launches and around 16,000 players on one of these platforms.

What Does Collaboration Look Like?

When working with clients, CGG goes beyond individual technical tasks. The team helps define the problem, choose the right solution format, and turn the idea into a finished product. The client brings business context, audience insights, and priorities, while CGG takes responsibility for product strategy, design, and technical implementation.

For CGG, joining Kharkiv IT Cluster is a way to maintain professional ties with the Kharkiv and Ukrainian IT communities, exchange expertise, and develop new partnerships.
