2005
The portfolio of the Hamburg publishers is extended to the “ANIKIDS“ series – an echo of the great marketing success of the strategy and construction simulation "My Pet Hotel".
2006
An important milestone: In 2006 dtp young entertainment GmbH & Co. KG was founded as a self-standing subsidiary of dtp entertainment AG. The 2001-created “Horse & Foal“ label in tow, the young company quickly makes a name for itself in the children’s software field.
More than one million girls between the ages of 8 and 14 groomed their horses, trained their dogs and cats or built up a successful pet hotel. In front of the computer and on handheld – the children’s software branch booms with horse and pet games. Its front-runner : dtp young. The portfolio of the publisher grows ever more.
2007
Along with “Horse & Foal“ and “ANIKIDS“ the series “Classics To Go“ and strong licences such as “Germany’s next Topmodel“ are launched. At the same time a partnership with the Ravensburger game publishing house develops, from which exciting titles emerge. So, for example, the THINK® Logic Trainer has been a best-seller in the Nintendo DSTM-Charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland since 2007.
With 22.5 %, dtp young is the market leader of the “Children’s games, children’s software and child learning software“ segment.(Source: GfK media control, Infotainment/Non-Games, KW 1-52/ 2007, by value)

All series and subject areas of dtp young are expanded further in accordance with trends and developments in the marketplace : horse and animal games as well as the titles brought to the console from the Ravensburger game publishing house are supplemented by innovative new licences such as “element girls“ and the label “J4G – JUST FOR GIRLS“. Here everything revolves around the first great love, fashion and leisure-time fun. After the first four years of its existence, now not just girls between the ages of 10 and 12, but teenage girls, boys, young women and families are found in the Hamburg publisher’s games again.
