Initially the company was called White Elephant. The large white animal was associated with a big scale and uniqueness. Later it was renamed to Elephant Games. The company is owned by two people with a passion for games, Dmitry Kuklin and Andrey Pakhmutov.

The very first game the company released is called Crazy Worms. The projects that followed are Jungle Heart and RIP (Rest in Peace) Trilogy.

During 2006, the company released three installments of the top-down arcade shooter RIP. The game was first published by Meridian4, and then distributed as a trilogy on Steam.

In 2007, Elephant Games entered the European market with a fashion simulator game, Real Stories: Fashion Shop for Nintendo DS. Elephant Games was one of the first in its region to get the license from Nintendo. Later Nintendo approved and licensed the concept of the shooter WinD (Way in Dusk)

In 2009 the company expanded its DS and Wii portfolio with the action mini game Love Is... In Bloom based on the comic of the New Zealand artist Kim Grove.

Elephant Games also works on Hidden Object games. Lost in the City[4] was launched in 2009. Other games include Mystery Trackers,[5] Grim Tales[6] and Detectives United.[7]

The company has been cooperating with Big Fish, a major US company, a global publisher and distributor of casual games. During the partnership, Elephant Games has won many international Big Fish Games Customer Favorites Awards.

In October 2012, the company released its first free-to-play game Found: A Hidden Object Adventure,[8] which was available on both PC and iPad (currently closed).
