"If it doesn't already exist, make it yourself!

We are Annie, Herman and Lilly, and we have taken this can-do attitude to a whole new level in creating CircleTales!
Here's our story.
As parents of a pre-teen girl and with careers in art and design, we were searching for an alternative to mainstream games for 'offline' family time---something that might connect us on a deeper level and appeal to our creative side.
So many board games feature conventional gender roles, or are excessively competitive--or come shrink-wrapped in a box with lots of plastic parts! We found few games that are collaborative, insightful, imaginative, and are designed with ecological consciousness and artistic flair, that are fun for both children AND adults.
So we took matters into our own hands, put pen to paper and dreamt CircleTales the Adventure Storytelling Game into being.
Two year later and with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, thanks to some outstanding early adopters, CircleTales is now a reality and is making its way into the hearts and homes of families around the world.

Our daughter Lilly has been the source of inspiration for CircleTales, and after countless hours playing CircleTales she is officially our in-house ‘creative critic’ making sure we don't take ourselves too seriously. Lilly is the artist of our portraits pictured here.
