The Fork Milk Kidnap party game is the NSFW adults-only game that will have you and your friends making questionable choices.
Each round, one player flips over 3 Action cards and 3 Object cards. Then everyone secretly decides which Object they would pair with each Action. For example, who would you tongue bathe? All 7 dwarfs, Florida Man, or the player of your choice? Everyone takes turns revealing all 3 of their pairings and explaining their reasoning. Expect some banter. And judgement. Players score a point when their pairings match the majority’s answers. The first to score 5 points wins!

The holidays are all about togetherness — but let’s be real: even the closest families need a break after a few days under the same roof. That’s where Get Packing! comes in.
Created in collaboration with MullenLowe for JetBlue, this limited-edition party game gave families a fun new holiday tradition — and one lucky winner a one-way ticket out. Literally. Each game came with a real JetBlue flight voucher, so the victor could escape the chaos and fly somewhere a little more peaceful.
We were brought in to consult on game design, content, and production, helping turn the agency’s clever concept into a playable, giftable reality. The result? The game sold out in seconds, generating buzz across press and social, and making holiday travel feel a little more like a reward.

Our Piñata Candy Dish is a festive, unbreakable hero (well, mostly unbreakable — it’s ceramic). Designed to look like your favorite party mascot, this colorful container brings the fun without the carnage. Fill it with jelly beans, chocolates, or wrapped goodies, and let the party live on — no bludgeoning required.
Perfect for desks, kitchen counters, or anywhere that could use a little more fiesta.

Spank the Yeti, the The Party Game of Questionable Decisions, asks the important questions in life, like… would you dumpster hump a robot, eat the dingleberries of a coked-out unicorn, and joust Tarzan? Or, maybe you would hump the unicorn, joust the robot, and snack on Tarzan's dingleberries?!
Each round, one player pairs up three Action Cards with three Object Cards (people, creatures, and things), and the other players try to correctly predict their answers. You don’t really know your friends until you know whose dingleberries they'd eat.
The fun folks at Smosh Games played it, and the episode has over 1 million views. And, here’s our quick video!

Client: 22Squared / The No Pause™ Project
Created in collaboration with 22Squared, No Pause™ The Game was part of a pro bono campaign challenging toxic masculinity and the emotional damage caused by “pause culture.” The agency had a strong creative vision, and we were brought in to consult on game mechanics, design, and manufacturing — helping turn the idea into a fully realized, conversation-starting experience.
Through humor and reflection, players earn “confidence” points by calling out the absurd social rules men impose on themselves — from how they eat a hotdog to the way they express emotion. It’s playful on the surface, but rooted in reshaping the conversation around masculinity and mental health.
Launched on Men’s Mental Health Day 2024, the game has been used by community orgs across the country to spark open dialogue — and was honored with Gold at the MUSE Design Awards for its bold message and innovative format.

A board game for women that’s literally impossible to win? Sounds about right.
Created in partnership with Billie, No Worries If Not is a darkly funny, painfully relatable take on “The Game” women are tired of playing — over-apologizing, people-pleasing, multitasking, second-guessing… you know the drill.
We developed the game design, mechanics, and content, and consulted on manufacturing to help bring Billie’s satirical vision to life — a fully playable experience that’s clever, cathartic, and maddening by design.
Includes: 1 game board, 1 die, 6 tokens, 86 cards, 1 instruction sheet, and 1 mysterious envelope (no peeking).
