Our story began in 2008 with a game about Switzerland. As our founder, Hadi Barkat, was preparing for a test as part of the naturalization process, he had a fun moment filled with giggles. He questioned his Swiss friends, but they didn't know as much as they wanted or claimed about their country. At that moment, the idea of creating a game was born. The first 3,000 copies, for every penny had counted, sold out in a month. It was beyond our expectations! We realized that people were passionate about learning in a fun and accessible way.
This first game has become a classic with more than 30,000 copies sold in Switzerland alone. This success inspires us and therefore we continue to create in Switzerland and beyond. We have designed new games. We came up with ideas for book titles. We even made designer objects. Each of our titles originates from an authentic moment, not from an effort to conquer a market.
After Switzerland, we were curious to know if it was only a Swiss-Swiss phenomenon. We ventured into Belgium and the United States, and everything worked there as well. Today we have distribution partnerships in more than 15 countries.
Some of our bestsellers include Randos Bière en Suisse, the Matchbox collection and our little Bandido game.
And the rest? We love to design titles that grab your attention and make you smile. Those who inspire you and show you the unknown in the familiar.
