And the keyword is: Review!

Joke — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 08:24:50 +0000

What a difference! Most of our games are children’s games and while adults love to buy them as a present and children love to play them, most people won’t sit down and write a review about them. For a family game people do! Really nice to see everybody enjoying the game!

A couple of quotes from the reviews:

Keyword can really be recommended for players who love word and brain games.

Many elements that make this a super fun and quick game.

I will definitely play Keyword again.

The game works excellent and looks nice and clear.

I like the challenge to find a word as quick as possible while thinking on the goal to crack the agreed upon keyword.

Nice battle, especially for crossword lovers!

A new game out – look smart as an elephant!

Joke — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:33:28 +0000

This autumn, Schmidt Spiele publishes our latest game. ‘Mix Mal‘ is all about collecting and exchanging cards to make a correct set of head, trunk and legs of the elephant character. The ‘Benjamin Blümchen‘ licence is quite popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and the simple game rules are also printed in French and Italian – in case you want to play it and help Benjamin get dressed for work in the right outfit.

Signatures placed, deal made

Another preschool game will be published this fall. We have just put our signatures on the contract and sent it back. Now the majority of our work has been done, and the illustrator works with the license character on it. Over the last few years we have come to understand the lengthy time-scale of publishing a game, even though we are not fully comfortable with it. Luckily we have many more projects at hand… we will not sit still with fingers crossed until this fall!

Artwork for a new game

Joke — Thu, 16 May 2013 15:53:50 +0000

A new game of ours is about to get published. This week, we received the artwork from the illustrator. With a few final tweaks, the game is ready for production now. It’s a game for children and families who love word games. As soon as possible the word will be out… but for now, we will bite our tongues.

Two of our games licensed!

Hurray! Today we signed (all three of us!) a worldwide license for two of our games and now it’s official! If everything proceeds according to plan the games will be published before the end of the year, so then we will be able to tell you more!

Building prototypes

Joke — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:22:52 +0000

Hard at work: Building several prototypes to send to game publishers. They need to stand up to a couple of months of testing by children, so we make them sturdy and durable!

Making money

Joke — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 12:59:51 +0000

We have already made our first money! Our new business cards that we’ve brought with us on Spiel were made to look like game money. They feel like money to and, as they are made from gummed paper, we can stick them on our letters and stuff. We are very happy with the results!

Visit to Spiel 2010

Joke — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:04:06 +0000

The visit to Spiel 2010 in Essen was awesome! We had great talks during the day and we were impressed by how interested everybody was in our game concepts. It was a wonderful experience and we will certainly be back next year. Hopefully for more days, because this year we haven’t had any time to actually play all those new releases we saw!
